I’ve had my Weller soldering station since 1985, yesterday it was no longer working. The reason? A wire in the “silicone” rubber cord from transformer to iron, had fatigued and snapped through.
It’s not possible to pare back the sheathing and remake the end connections, as the inner insulation is digesting itself - a form of chemical rot. So I really need to replace the cable. I’ve not been around enough Weller soldering stations to know if they all used the same three pin connector, or if they varied. (I do know they changed the pin assignment about 25 years back.) It’s a really supple three conductor cord of about 6mm outside diameter. Has anyone here, knowledge of whether (or if so, when) the connector plug physically changed - and what units interchange? Else, suggestions on where I might buy a suitable and very flexible cable of original diameter, to carry 50W dependably. |
