Nice upgrade project. Good to see that cool screwdriver set getting some work!

A nice soldering kit. Puts mine to shame, just an Antex 25 Watt. When I retired I decided to get a new soldering iron as my previous Antex 15 Watt bought nearly 50 years ago and I think and it was just old, still working and with it's original tip - although quite a lot of it had dissolved. I looked at various alternatives and in the end just decided to get another Antex but with a bit more power. It works great and I've just bought a new conical tip for some surface mount, although at this moment in time I cannot find it, so might have to buy another one. I'll have to work out a place for storing soldering iron tips.

Hi Donald,

Nice upgrade : )

And very cool that your station has the tube for getting rid of the solder fumes!

Hi Donald,

Retro fitting and repairing a quality piece of equipment is a good idea. Now you are back in business with an old friend. Thanks for sharing.
