A quick glance at tequipment.net shows all of the models starting with "2" are 230V.  So looks like that is all it is.

LOL, the thread goes full circle and Tequipment.net sells 2 instead of 1!

Funny how that works.  I bought a JBC DDE about three years ago around tax refund time.  I love having the 245/210 (regular/micro) handles loaded with different cartridges and ready to go.  Having two hand pieces also works great as ghetto hot tweezers.  I guess it was a bit of a splurge on my part, but I have never regretted that particular purchase.

I hope your new equipment works out great, and gives you the performance you are looking for.  My Hakko 888 worked great for getting me started, but I can't say I've missed it at all these past years.

I can see that my Hakko FX951 may be looking for a new owner soon, it's like new but the inability to change temperature easily is really annoying.  Is the 210 handle compatible with the 245 in terms of plugging it into a station?  It sounds as though the micro bits may be what I need to do the really small work and I could buy just the handle and bits and plug them into my Jabe station.

[EDIT] Equalizor's video on the Jabe says (at the very very end) that you can't plug the 210 handle into the UD-1200

Honestly I wouldn't let that deter you if what ever you buy will be using a JBC handpiece.  There is alot of overlap on the tips between the 245/210.  Its only the smallest tips where the 210 has some versions that are not on the 245, and those are not going to have the greatest thermal transfer.  If I had to choose between one or the other, I would definitely choose the 245 hand piece.  I typically don't go smaller than 0603 components for my own projects, and the 245 has tips that work just fine for those.

Actually we have a whole building full of these older BD-2BA stations...  just replacing a few that got coffee spilled into them, etc...
