Old style soldering iron..

[Steve]

I have an old but good Ungar pencil type soldering iron. It had a red
handle with a cork guard next to the heating element. The heating
element has a screw in on one end that goes into the handle then a
ceramic heating element then the end in which the tip screws into. The
number on the heating element is #1235 I cannot tell you the watts as
that is not readable. Can anyone tell me where I can get another one
of these elements? Does anyone possibly know what the wattage is? I
really don't want to 'break in' another iron so a replacement
cartridge would be great! Thanks for any and all assistance given.....

Says 33 watts, not something simple like 30 or 35. (?)

Have no idea if they have them in stock or not. Never bought anything from
them.

I have an Ungar Imperial iron that is starting to be tough to find parts
for, too. Have several elements & new handles. Tips are the problem right
now.

Good Luck, Steve

For specs, search on "1235" at http://www.cooperhandtools.com/brands/weller/

Do a google search on "weller 1235s" for suppliers/prices

I once had one that stated "33 1/2" or "24 1/2" -- or something like that.
I _do_ remember the "... 1/2" part.
