I use brass bolts in old 120V soldering irons that I use with an old PACE soldering system. Just find a little bolt (ACE Hardware) that fits into the soldering pencil and sharpen whatever point you want. Works great. Also Brass Craft tubing works as a tip in the solder extractor vacuum system.
Save lots of time looking for old tips.
