I don?t have one to spare, unfortunately. On spare tips: those are cheap

Yeah, tips are available.. but $10/ea is way too steep. If you watch the
eBay, you can find compatible tips for around $2.50-3.00 or so, but you
might have to buy several to strike the right price. Original Weller parts
get silly expensive, I think the MSRP is around $18/ea - and they wonder
why people opt for the import versions..
Four or five-fold cost is not what I'd call "competitive" - even if they
last a bit longer. Go USA..
