A younger fellow, new friend of mine, is trying to get into the electronics
hobby - and he needs a decent tempco soldering outfit. I gifted him with a
Weller WTCP type base - the older style, with the iron holder built in to
the top of the base.
But I didn't have a spare TC-201 type pencil, or "irons" you might say, to
work with the base.
If anyone has a spare, working pencil for this base, please email me
off-list. Send details and asking price.. and if you have a spare tip or
two, etc, go ahead and let me know.
He's short on funds and I'd like to help him get-going with a decent set.
And while I'm never one to "blame the tool", the main bench iron is no
place to skimp.. cheap irons +can+ make good joints when needed, but not in
the hands of a novice - in my experience. I don't want to hobble him with
one of those $5.99 Willy Wong specials.
