[Microwave] Where can I get...

[SteveP]

eBay carries every brand.
I got my Metcal soldering iron with power supply for $80.
Got a Talon tweezer with power supply for $130.
Also a great source for tips, just need to wait for the right one to 
come by.

End of last year I notice that one of the regular vendors of soldering 
equipment
at the Foothill swap meet was selling surplus Metcal.  Didn't notice prices.
