content: Hi Folks...I have some free Weller and Scope soldering tips to get rid off. They are new in packaging but look like old type tips.Weller tips are unknown one pkt states PTA7 the others look the same type but varying tip types (hoof large small, spade etc)...all up 12 tips.The Scope tips....I have no idea...they look older and are quite small, code #3, #18 and some are miniscope tips I have no idea about. Qty 27 all up.First in first served. I'll send the Weller tips together; the Bigger Scope together and the miniscope as another package. Just PM me I'll post free Australia.Brendanedit:I got these when buying a bulk lot of Royel soldering tips from fleabay so I have no use for them.

content: O-M-G...I still have my MiniScope tucked away somewhere - but it hasn't seen the light of day for years. That thing was a brute and required a deft touch if you didn't want to fry everything within range.If nobody wants to claim the MiniScope items, I'll take them - but if there is someone with a genuine need, then please speak up.

content: I have a miniscope kicking round in the shed too, does anyone want to split the miniscope bits?Brumby where are you? I'm in WA where are you wasyoungonce?On the subject of scope iron reminiscing I remember soldering my first Dick Smith Funway kit with one as a kid. I'm not really sure if I understood the concept of overheating components that well at the time and it probably explains why it never worked :-)

content: Dammit, I missed out. I've actually run out of tips for the big scope.My grandfather founded Scope in 1948? 1950? and we had stacks of spare parts once. Shame.

I'll cut the two cards down the middle, which will give you 3 tips and 3 elements. (I'll keep the other halves which will give me 3 tips and 4 elements)

content: Hi Gents great to see they are getting use.....and to add to thisWith that pack from fleabay I found what I think were Plato 3.2mm (1/8") OD de-solder tips 25.4 mm long (1"). They all appears to be 0.8/1.0mm ID and were new kinda looked chromed or such...obviously that's not right. But they were bright steel of some sort!Plato/Pace link hereLink Fixed.They are 3.2mm OD x 0.8mm ID x 25.4mm long, de-soldering tips.datasheet here note opens a datasheet not a linksee below for imageThese tips almost fit my Royel de-solder irons, but, not quite I guess thats why the person before me purchased them, so they are useless to me however I suspect someone would enjoy and employ them.So hold ya horses I'm in hospital atm I’ll get my ever suffering Mrs to take some pics and post them up. Sorry for no direct link my lappy is giving runtime errors to the Plato page....GrrrrAnyway there are around 20 and I’ll give them away free again like last time. Might be nice half to one person half to another. I'll post a new thread when I'm out of hospital and can post them. Just thought someone might notice them and be willing & keen after last effort and of courseall free for Australians only
