[Lowfer] OT: Soldering Iron

[Stan, W1LE]

Hello Jon,

Consider looking at the Marlin P. Jones website for soldering irons

One model has a variety of optional tips, adjustable heat with indicator,
and an accessory tweezer to allow removing surface mounted stuff.

Mine is a model: ZD-929a but I do not know the part number.

It was cost effective and I like the variable tip temperature.
