Is that Archer soldering iron one of the old type with the screw-in heating element?I have 2 soldering irons, an ancient Ungar 9000 on my bench, and an ancient Archer for working on the layout. Hang on to that puppy. Mine is a 25w, not 40 (the heat was selectable just by buying a different screw-in element).It is a wonderful tool, and luckily, I found some extra screw-on long-life iron-clad tips for it on eBay.If the heating element ever burns out, I'll cry. I love that thing.
