Hi guys, as you know the makerfaire is just around the corner.
I am looking for a volunteer to take a look at the soldering stations we have and assess their current health (Do they turn on? Do they need a new tip?).
If new tips are needed then could you also help me by providing the make of the soldering station in need and a photo of the tip. I’ll go get some more tips asap.
The cheap clone stations nominally used 900M Series hakko tips, however the geometry is apparently the same as the T18 compatible tips, so you can mix and match.
@Lukeo and I took note last night of all the soldering stations. Most were in surprisingly good shape. We replaced the tip on one of the Hakkos and found two of the Wellers needed new tips (but we had no replacements).
