If you live close by, you could borrow my Hakko 808. I didn't need it but I'm never destroyed a pcb with it (and I've destroyed more than one).

This is the best manual (unpowered) desoldering tool I've used:

Engineer Professional Silicone-Tip Solder Sucker

I have some LM and JRC/NJM 13700s. One coming at you unless you’ve already procured one of the little buggers.

Thanks Tim, but the replacement is due to arrive on my porch today. Always learning the hard way.
