Didn't have any trouble getting out it unscrewed easily. But flux in the solder was eating up the copper(after 3 or4yrs). I had read that cheap folks would not reshape the tip by filing or grinding but would beat it w/a hammer thus saving the copper. But you can only beat it so much.
I tried a 10-24 steel and brass machine screws but too much heat lost. Don't conduct heat as well as copper.

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got!
