For decades I have used a 100W or 100/140W soldering gun to repair tube radios. Would like to upgrade and also restore some early transistor radios. It seems several guns,irons would make life easier. Would appreciate recommendations for soldering guns,irons, accessories to upgrade my bench.Main problems with my gun are awkward to get in tight places and too much or too little heat for specific applications.What do the experts use?

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
