[Elecraft] TEQUIPMENT.NET - Elecraft-Only Sale on Hakko

[Tom Hammond]

Post-Thanksgiving Greetings:

I hope everyone (at least those in the US) was able to ROLL out of bed this 
morning, following some heavy-duty eating yesterday. I know that I helped 
in the decimation of a 24# turkey and a 16# ham yesterday, not to mention 
WAY too many desserts and other goodies.

Here's another possible 'goodie', but of a different type...

I just received a note from Evan Cirelli at Tequipment.NET. It seems that, 
beginning MONDAY MORNING (Dec. 1) through the end of 
December,  Tequipment.NET will be offering an Elecraft-Only sale on Hakko 
Soldering tools, specifically:

    Hakko 936-9    Soldering Station      $68.00 each
    Hakko 936-12   Soldering Station      $82.00 each
    Hakko 808/KIT  DEsoldering Gun/kit   $158.00 each

I'm only the messenger here, folks. And I have NO interest whatsoever in 
Tequipment.NET OR in Hakko. I just know that Hakko makes some really good 
soldering products.

If you are interested and you go to the Tequipment.net site, you MUST use 
the following URL or the pricing will be different:

   www.tequipment.net/HakkoDecElecraftOnly.html

REMEMBER - This URL will NOT be available until sometime this coming 
Monday. I just tried it and it's not there now.

As always, I would advise that you check competing sources as well and pick 
the best pricing you can find. Also, if you DO consider ordering the 
soldering station or the desoldering gun (from ANY source), consider buying 
some additional tips (or nozzles) at the same time to save shipping later. 
Suggestions for possible additional tips and nozzles can be found on my web 
site at:

in the section titled "Information for use by builders". Check out the 
articles titled:
