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 (finally moving on from the Ungar & Weller stations of my previous career) ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 06:10:41 PM PST US Subject: AeroElectric-List: Re: Metcal tips? From: "Eric M. Jones" 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. -------- Eric M.
