Hakko 936 clone modification help needed

<< < (3/3)

Oh the nichrome wire is joined inside the iron hot end.....way too small to fit "joiners"!   I was watching resistance welding of wires like this......can be done but beyond me atm

Edit.   Actually some of those small flat crimps look very similar to those in the irons to join nichrome and wire......  Very small....around 2mm or less square and 1mm thick. 

Edit 2 I’m off to hospital tomorrow! ....again ....if you want stuff say so otherwise I could be in for a months or three!   I can pack it a and family can send It for me.

dragondude:
Sent you a PM

dragondude:
Also might be interested in the resistance tweezers and wire strippers. Could you please post a pic of those?

wasyoungonce:
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

I 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.
