What is needed for a vacuum source for the DS1000? Also, will a DS227 top work with the DS1000? What size orifice would you suggest for the DS227 for most through hole and some smt work?
Thank you.

The DS1201ESD is also specified for this model. The DS1203A is notated "high mass desoldering tool".

My DS1000 user manual is saying I need a DS2001 (pistol) or DS1201ESD (iron). I have not seen either for sale used or new. I have not been able to located a manual for my WD2000. Weller tech support sent me the manual for the WD2M which is not even close to my WD2000.
Thank you.

The WD2000 rework station you are referring to was made in 1980s, as I remember.
It was not in production during 1990s (not in 1999 catalog).
Weller acquired Ungar in 1996 and by 2003, many of those models were discontinued.

The DS101 irons appear (Magnistat/TCP heritage) on eBay.
Regarding the EC-1201(A) / ESD irons ...
I actually build these, from scratch, as needed — finding NOS parts from various sources.

My WELLER Manual Collection (20th Century) ..... I have scanned most.
I did not use or repair their de-soldering products. Consult 1999 Catalog.

MANY models were discontinued in 2003 — not converted to RoHS (no lead) 21st century.

Hello Greg.
I got the DS1000 and the WM2000 packs at a surplus sale so they very easily could have been made in the 80's or earlier. Attempts to get the manual (and parts breakdown) from Weller only got me manuals of new and recent models but not either of these 2 models.
I was hoping I could use one or the other but have to come up with an iron for each and the foot switch. Was there anything special about the foot switch?
I had looked at the WTCPK but did not find one very cheap. The bulb was what I particularly wanted since I have several WTCP stations and love them. I finally bought a Aoyou 701A rework station since I could not afford a real Hakko. It works but not great.
Thank you.

The Weller DS100 and DS500 were Weller’s first De-soldering units, as shown in the June 1981 Product Catalog.

A distributor, on eBay, had TEN (10) Weller DS-101 soldering irons (TC-201 iron using a Cinch-Jones 3-pin rectangular plug) ... those were listed for MONTHS. I don’t think he sold any of them (outside of two to me, 2 years earlier).
IF you are going to “harvest from surplus” you better be a Good Scrounger or DIY Maker.
