My TCP soldering iron packed up. I am look for a source to buy in UK.
I have this Weller PU-3D with 24V/45W iron. I couldn't find any No.
or marking on the heater so I do not know what it is. Can anybody
help.
A deal of searching UK websites shows that there is not a lot of
spares support for WTCPT stations. Several do sell spare tips for
these stations but as for other parts I can't locate anything.
However, Hunter Tools in Devon
http://www.huntertools.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=3179
appear to sell the complete WTCPT station so it is a good bet that
they can also supply spares.
In Australia the WTCPT was a major seller from around the 1970's
onwards and still sells quite well thru RS Components and other
suppliers like Wagner Electronics (WES)so spare parts are not a
problem, despite being expensive. The WTCPT is still manufactured
locally in Australia BTW. Wagner Electronics
http://www.wagner.net.au/Sections/ has all the spares. Click on
Section 14 and click thru to page 14/41 and the parts are shown (no
prices though), My old paper catalogue indicates the heater element
was around AUD37 and the switch around AUD50 so this gives an idea of
what you are looking at.
