content: Hello everybody, now that such a Ferrari of soldering stations is heading in my direction, I would like to buy some stuff to make is usable, I have looked at the retail prices and cringed hard (Ferrari indeed, but I've also seen that from time to time members have some spare parts or knew about some discounts.Please offer me your spare Metcal parts and reasonable tip seller tips.Anything reasonable priced will be considered, preferable form DE/EU, but for special thing also offers form outside the area.As long as the title doesn't have [FULL DONE] in it, I'm open for offers.Many thanks,DC1MC

content: Hi DC1MC,I have the older MX-500 Station, and scored many tips from the bay or *bay-kleinanzeigen at reasonable prices. At the moment someone there is selling STTC-036 for 15EUR plus shipping... Make him an offer? For special tips you have to wait a bit but sometimes they show up in the listings...Good Luck!Regards,Stefan

content: Congratulations... Looking forward to see your post after your first soldering session. Please let me know how the LAN interface works in your home networkYou will love it, I mean truly looove it.Back to the point, I think here:http://stores.ebay.com/Thermaltronicsit's a good place to start, to save money the password is "Thermatronics".Yeah it's not Ferrari branded but they should work, but I have no direct experience with them. In my shop I want only METCAL with me (yeah I'm like an apple idiot fan boy...).Anyway the best move is to wait and look here at the EEVB....

content: I picked up a couple of Thermaltronics tips from Denbo 32 for my MX-500. I can't tell the difference between them and the 3 original Metcal tips I bought. They seem to work just as well.
