hi all,
there has been plenty written the past few years about these, especially
the schumacher 13something. 3 or 4 years ago i bought 5 of these online for
my plane and other toys. usual charge on the battery ended up at around
13.1-13.3 volts. now i find at least 2 won't charge above 12.7 volts. not a
bad battery as another charger will bring up the voltage. keep an eye out
or you may not get something started when the time comes.

If you're going to trash these, I'd pay postage
to have them . . .

Well, I bought a Metcal iron on ebay, model # SP-PW1-10. It came with a
rather blunt tip, good for heavy gauge stuff but unusable for circuit
boards, etc. Unfortunately, searching the Metcal site for this model
iron doesn't yield any info. Anyone know what series tips fit it? The
tip (and the connector on the wand cable) I have is (are) 2-pin style
(some internet lore suggests that there are basically 2 style connectors
& tips for this brand, but I can't find any info on the Metcal site to
tell which series numbers are the 2-pin style.)
Thanks,
Charlie

That's the SP200. See: www.okinternational.com/product_soldering/sp200
The Metcal (OKI) has numbers for the set, the supply, each accessory, etc. but
you only have to figure it out once, then you can buy tips on ebay.
The SP200 uses SSC tips. Use the Metcal info above to select what you want then
grab them off ebay (there are 25 now listed). Set you Ebay personal shopper to
notify you when they come up.
