You can goose up a marginal soldering iron by running it from a Variac, with voltage boost. I've never burned one out, but I do limit the time on boost to that of actually doiing the heavy work. You can raise the iron power by about a third this way. 73, Wilson W4BOH _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk  |
