Need Help Finding Weller DS1000 and WD2000 Desoldering station info
Southerner:
About 5 years ago I won a couple auctions. One for a Weller WD2000 and one for a DS1000. They are part of a desoldering station but I can't find anything about them on the Weller manual archive page and Weller has not responded to requests for info. Does anyone have any info on these stations? I have the blue box but not the solder/desolder guns or heads and no hoses. What desoldering gun do they require to be used with them? What soldering pencil do they need?
Thank you for your help.

I have a ds1000. Got it in the mid to late 90s. The label on the soldering has worn out so i cant get the model. The desoldering iron that came with mine is weller DS1203A.

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

I got a reply from Weller tech support and link to the manual and thought it said it took a EC1202 iron. That made no sense to me as that is a stand alone iron and power pack if I remember right.
Thank you.

Hello Helius.
I will look for the DS1201 or DS1203A iron. I thought the manual said it took a EC1202 iron which made no sense to me as that was a stand alone iron with power pack.
What is used for the desoldering head in your DS1000?
I just tried to purchase a Star Tec 90101 desoldering station but after 2 months of corresponding with someone at Star Tec I placed an order last night and promptly got a refund and cancelled order because they do not produce a USA (UL approved I guess) model so I have to keep looking for a desoldering station in that price range. I had thought about getting the Hakko FR300/301 or the Chinese clone but the Hakko is out of my budget and I do not trust the Chinese clones of that model.
What would you recommend for an affordable hobbyist desoldering station?
Thank you.
