  RUSSIA
About two or three years ago I ordered two tips from SRA-Soldering dot com and both tips arrived not working (resistance between contacts measured open), they wouldn't take them back or refund money, croocks. 

Where to buy tips for my soldering iron?

I asked same question on vlab su forums, and I was suggested to use Hakko T12 tips, even got a link to an article in which apperantly guy tries them out on his Aoyeu 2738.. The only problem is that in the pictures those tips and the tip on his statation have two contacts, while tips for my station have 3 contacts.

These are pictures of tip from my station, resource = -50%  and my station.

Here is a pic from that article, hakko tip next to supposedly aoyue tip with two contacts, which I could not find anywhere on official sites.

I take it that Hakko T12 tips won't work on my station, right? Right?

Where to buy tips for my station?  I do not want SRA Soldering, they are crooks, and I woudln't recommend SRA soldering to any one of you.

I've purchased several Aoyue tips for my 2703 from SRA (through eBay) and never had any problems with them.   In fact, I got the 2703 from them through eBay (it arrived damaged from bouncing around during transit and several internal plastic stand-offs sheered off  ) and since I had some spare parts to fix it myself they gave me a discount off the purchase for my trouble.

So um... 1200 rubles for a tip and then 3300 rubles for delivery
Dollar is 64 rubles
That means a single tip will cost me 3300+1200==4500 rubles
which is $71 US dollars...

Would you pay $71 US bucks for a single soldering iron tip?

That is up to you. Don't ask me if I would buy it. You wanted a source and this is one. I saw free shipping but that might be only in the US. May be you have to look for a source in Russia or have someone mail it from a supplier in EU if available. Under $18.00 is not a bad price for the item alone.
