Many thanks.....my message reply disappeared so here's an abridged.... to cut to the chase:
Good to hear from another RAAFie.
Thanks for tip on cleaning Vacpump. Its a Vane type "Gast"
I uploaded some pics to my google drive
https://drive.google.com/open?id=14u1E1BrbVzax5sVi19u2dotU3lw2dqR0I can spare one CT200 handle used but ok, a handle cage 2 glass tubes filters, vac flex tube from iron to station, some used but very good iron tips (~6), some new iron tips (~4) around 5 new Pace vac tips that fit the iron and new ferrules to fit the tips. I'll throw in a new thermal wire stripper (American Beauty see pic) I only have one Resistance tweezers set..sorry that stays.
I have Quite a few other brand new tips for STd irons large and small types ....around 150+ brand new tips I scored from fleabay. I don't have their part numbers but Hoof's spade, chisel, points, 2mm/3mm/4mm/5mm and bigger...I can spare some of these....all stuff for free you just pay postage.
Happy to help fellow RAAFie. I re-made my PCBs for the station with new PCBs and multi-turn post,,,didn't get the LEDs right they OEM were real low current. Some irons like the CT14's have offset temp that I just note with a tag on the iron to compensate when I set temp. My Favourite is an old ADCOLA iron (forerunners for Royel)built like proverbial brick craphouse works so well and is ~70Watts. Its like new 40+ years since new and is the best iron I've ever used.! I'll put up pics when I can. I love my Hakko 936 for drag solder though. I recently did a QFN144....the Hakko nailed it first go. Those drag cup tips are to die for!
But.... I'm in hospital atm could be a month or 2 or 3! More spinal fusions...possibly all! Already fused S1-L5 and C4 - T2....so...looking forward to this "like a finger in the eye"! So talk soon when I can.
