Im repairing some of the soldering stations Ive got in my electronics

I was given this unit best as I can recall because it wasnt working
(stroke moment) *I think the controller is working properly..but I think
the issue is in the iron itself.

Anyone remember this unit or have a link? Coopertools bought them out
years ago, and I cant find any information on the Ungar stuff at all.

This unit has low/high ranges with a pair of verticle rows of LEDs that
show the tip temp. (pics available if need be)

Anyone got a data source?

I thing that Ungar was acquired by Weller, which is now part of the Cooper
Tools
group. *Weller is very good about supplying repair parts for old Weller
equipment. *Perhaps they feel the same about Ungar equipment.

I have yet to see a soldering iron circuit that is complicated, what tests
have you run to isolate the problem? what is the status of the thermistor,
the triac control and the heater?

When you take off the tip, there is a busted white Ceramic mini popsicle
stick sticking out of the back of the heater.

Yup! That is the heating element. Need to replace all the innards, or
easier to replace the whole hand piece.

I took it, a big Weller staion Id fixed and a Hardinge tapping head Id
fixed for a buddy in So. Cal down to my buddy yesterday and gave them to
him. Perhaps I should have kept the Ungar..but the sparcity of
information and parts made it simply not worthwhile for me to hang on to
it.
