Re: Metcal Soldering stations for sale *PM for pic Are you accusing me of being illiterate? I read every word you wrote and I find this to be insulting. As for Weller soldering tools, I have used them extensively in the past, and I have found that I prefer my Metcal, higher cost and all. I...

Re: Metcal Soldering stations for sale *PM for pic wow, you're just a bundle of joy, aren't you? as a matter of fact, they are (or rather were) not the ones you were referring to and could pass as new. Even if they were beat up, they would still outperfom a weller or similar any day of the week.

Re: Metcal Soldering stations for sale *PM for pic no, sorry. They are all gone. (well, all except one power station, but it doesn't have a stand or wand...) Thanks for the interest, though! :)

you need an antistatic wrist strap - like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Anti-Static-ESD-Wrist-Strap-Band-w-Adjustable-Grounding_W0QQitemZ260334198184QQihZ016QQcategoryZ58293QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem they're cheap, and can prevent static from killing your sensitive electronic devices.

Re: Metcal Soldering stations for sale *PM for pic ahh, believe me, you won't look back! I never had success with the iron types, and I tried a Metcal one day, and it was like a lightbulb flicked on or something, it's really wonderful! Let me know what your impressions are when you get it -...

Re: Metcal Soldering stations for sale OK, as for pictures, my roomate has gone for the week without telling me, so I am without a camera for a while  :( I gave up and bought one on Woot! today, so I should have pictures on Tuesday.

Re: Metcal Soldering stations for sale thanks! they're for sale locally as well, so I think they'll go pretty soon. as a side note, I finally got a 20x red open can going tonight at 399mA, wow, what a burner! :-D

Re: Metcal Soldering stations for sale yep, the heat at the tip is controlled by which type of tip you choose. Typically, you can use a Metcal tip 100-200 degrees lower than usual because of the design, and if you have more than one it takes about 10 seconds to change a tip. I find that a...

Re: Metcal Soldering stations for sale here is an example of one system: or, at least there would be, if I could figure out how to add my picture...   ::)

Want to take your soldering to the next level? Tired of crummy, cold solder joints? Just want to buy another nifty tool? ;D I have seven six Metcal SP-200 soldering station systems for sale. As professional soldering techs know, Metcal is the top-dog when it comes to soldering equipment. I own...

new batteries will do a world of good. try focusing to a very short distance - say 6 inches or so, and start out further back than that (with a wide beam at that point), and bring in the laser closer and closer (you will see your beam getting smaller) until you see smoke coming out from...

I have also sent payment & follow-up PM. Looking forward to an update. :) Thanks!
