Im repairing some of the soldering stations Ive got in my electronics
shop..and Ive go a minty but non working Ungar 9000 unit that I cant
find any info on.


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?


Joe, you need to look at the RF heated soldering irons.


No doubt the RF irons are nice, but what's the relevance? Gunner has the broken
iron he has, an Ungar 9000.
