[GreenKeys] Need Soldering tips for Wen model 75 soldering pistol

[Jim Pruitt]

Hello Roy.

Yes I have tried Wen.  I have tried Googling too.  I find a couple on Ebay
but the pictures do not show the tip or its condition and I am not going to
pay $10 shipping on another gun only to find that the tip is in the same
shape as mine.

I have actually been looking for these tips for a couple of years now and
the one tip I had finally bit the dust completely.  I was hoping that
someone had one laying around and no longer had the gun or no longer use it
or knew of a supplier that had some in a dusty corner of a shelf that they
had not sold.

Wen's reply this time was the same as in the past.  They said the gun had
been obsolete for several years and they have no spare parts at all for that
item including tips.

Thank you for the suggestion.

Jim Pruitt
