Weller pencil iron
#1

I picked up this little Weller iron a couple of yrs ago and I really like it as it has three led lamps on it. The light makes it very handy to use. But as time marches on the tip was getting shorter and shorter. Couldn't find a model # for the iron and didn't want to pay 4 or 5 bucks for a tip that doesn't fit.
So did a little measuring and found that the tip threaded to fit a 10-24 hole. Had the proper die but had to catch a ride to  the hardware to get some solid copper wire.The fellow manning the wire section at the HD is a ham that use to be a member of the ham club I was going to back it the lat 80's. We had a few yucks abt the club and such. Found some copper that looked good for the size and off we went. Got home threaded it, used a dremel the shape and it's back in service. Now I can get started on the 116X.
