Re: Soldering iron riddle:
My go-to tip is the weller PTC7 but for small stuff I use the PTR series.
Re: Soldering iron riddle:
that's a fat little tip going by the photos.
I was looking at Ungar stuff and they interchange with the Weller. Then I looked at some site that was blowing out Ungar soldering supplies.
I might make an order of replacement cord, replacement handle, replacement element, and a few tips, and try that route instead of investing in a used station or something.
gonna try fixing a couple of motherboards, the caps look fine but when you push on 'em they sort of loosely click in and out, around the VRM.
