Hi guys (and girls too
),
After much research, I've decided to buy a Hakko FX-888 Analog Station as my first ever Soldering Station. I'm hoping to grab a good deal somewhere from Amazon or Ebay, etc. The equipment would be rated at 110V, 60 Hz and I won't be able to directly plug this into my household 220 V, 50 Hz supply. I looked around and using a 220/110 step-down transformer was the popular solution.
I, however, wish to do something different, and seek your assistance.
One of these days, I'll be building my variable power supply (yes, my first project
). I wish to incorporate, among other output levels, a 26 V regulated DC output.
I was hoping that I could remove the transformer from the Hakko FX-888 and connect the station directly to this 26 V DC output from my power supply unit.
I'm sure someone has tried this already. Comments please!!
Cheers!!
