Rheostat

Thanks for the warning The oncosts vary from zero (if the package doesn't get stopped) up to

15 uk pounds on 86 uk pounds-worth of dichro that I had shipped over. Still worked out about 1/4 of the price I'd pay over here for the same item.....

This was delivered via Royal Mail - ISTR that 'proper' couriers (like DHL) charge a punitive 'handling' cost on top of the Import Duty / Vat

- happened to me with some 2nd hand lapidary gear that came from the USA.

Annoying - but that's how it works

How about providing a valid Weller stock number for these alleged 900*F tips, dick cheese? These would be for the Weller 100P Series irons. Post a link to any legitimate website, anywhere, where this tip is for sale.

Put up or shut up. Prove me wrong. Win an argument, which would be a first for you. You might even get a shred of credibility....Lord knows you need some.

Pathetic turd.

So you spend 20 minutes bragging about your alleged accomplishments, blatantly self-promoting yer sorry self and your alleged "business" (in violation of the group charter) ...and still didn't answer the freaking question.

In other words, folks, Brady got caught in another bullshit lie and, as usual, can't substantiate anything he says.

Case closed.

In the fantasy land you live in, probably there ARE some Weller 900F tips. It's just that they aren't visible to us mere mortals.

Now, go take your Thorazine like a good little boy.

I really want a 900 weller tip. Sorry but not one wholesaler I deal with thinks they exist. I've been soldering with 100 watts for almost 30 years. but I must be doing somehting wrong huh? I raised 3 kids.... own my building.... drive a new car...... all with a lousy 100 watt iron.

Yup....but, iffe'n you'd been a-sodderin' with one of dem 175W 1100*F irons, you'd have a whole passel of youngun's, a giant international distribution warehouse, a whole fleet of cars and trucks, and been a world-famous author and lecturer. Not to mention being the most respected and admired poster to all of usenet.

Why people woulda been just clamoring to sit at yer feet and maybe even touch the hem of yer robe. See what you've missed? All for the want of 75 measly watts and 400*F. You've just squandered yer life, bubba.

Sniff.

Was I ignored because I only have a 75watt soldering iron ?? - feeling like a 2nd-class citizen here.

Wish I'd hung onto the 1950's iron I found in a house move - it weighed about 4 pounds, had a long beechwood handle, and a gigantic copper bit (about 1" wide and 3" long) - and claimed to be rated at about 300W / 220v. That'd give me real street cred !

I ended up presenting it to somebody at the company I worked for who had done a spectacularly awful job of reworking some electronics circuit boards - it's probably worth a fortune now

Doubt it - that's far too logical !

OH you guys are priceless! Kill filed the dipshit after his last profound uttering, but nice to see he isn't just posting with free rein, I should hope to hell the "students" he is "teaching" don't catch him in the parking lot some dark night and lynch his ass for taking advantage of them....Can't wait for another Glass Expo, so I can sign up for one of his classes and have it cancelled, again. Maybe they wouldn't let him in the country because he knows so much. If all that knowledge got out to the general public it would lead to the collapse of glass technique as we know it. Better off keeping such information in Canada, where it's safe.

Sorry to answer my own post (sad, isn't it ??) - but I emailed coopertools.com (who manufacture / distribute Weller) - and just got this reply....

===================quote================================

Further to your recent email enquiry we supply in the UK the W101 100W temperature controlled iron. This iron used the CT6 range of tips. They are available in 700F and 800F. the 900F tips were discontinued. Apologies but the rumour is no longer true.

===================unquote=================================

So - there you go.....

Dennis had better hang on to those 900F tips - as their value is bound to appreciate in years to come due to their rarity.........

So everybody was right

Regards Adrian

Know WHY Cooper Tools discontinued the 900*F tips, don'tcha?

'Cause only one ignorant dipshit on the planet ever bought any of them.
