Yes.  That should work.  IF you use a normal cable, I think you need
the null feature.  The DEC mmj stuff was wired crossed already to
each end of the mmj cable.

Both does fine.  I have a tiny 10 watt iron with a very fine tip that
I use to do that.  Most any 15 watt or less iron will do.  Just don't
