[Boatanchors] solder guns

Wed, 14 Jan 2004 21:37:53 -0500

Gerry - I gave you the auction numbers of two Weller 240 watt irons. You can
enter (cut & paste) the auction number into the Search box on the main page
of Ebay. Also as I mentioned you could find them, and other Weller irons by
typing in "Weller soldering" FYI

73,
