New tip for Radio Shack soldering station
« on: June 03, 2025, 12:38:25 am »
When Radio Shack folded back in 2014, a number of us bought the 70 W Proline soldering station at bargain prices, as covered in this old thread Radio Shack CLEARANCE 70W pro soldering station


Mine has served me well.   But I would really like to have a small chisel shaped tip.  Does anybody know a source of tips that fit?  I assume RS just put their label on a machine built by some other manufacturer, so hopefully there are tips on the market that would be compatible. 


The white ceramic heating element is about 15/64" in diameter


Thanks

I found this thread:-

https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?2045118-CPO-Quick-Look-Radio-Shack-70W-Pro-Line-Soldering-Station-(GX-881-64-207)

The handle and tip area on yours does look like the Hakko handles

Does your have a model number somewhere on it? Reply #4 in the thread mentions some tips, and also this video:-

Great.  Thanks Rontone.  Model number is 6400207, pretty close to what is mentioned on the utube
