I have an X-tronic 4000 that burned out it's hot air element (lasted three years, not bad). It shipped with a spare heater which is nice but I'd like to keep one in stock in case this one craps. There are a lot on ebay but none list the x-tronic specifically. The element in my station looks like this:

The description lists it at 250W (like mine does) but it's at 220V. Mine is a 120V machine, and I don't see any others that physically look the same but are 110V units. I didn't take mine apart but I don't think it's got a step up trans inside, or does it? Anybody else have this machine and a source for the elements?
This should work. It has the case so it costs about 25.00 with
shipping.

It would seem that X-tronic 4000 takes the same heating element as the
common 850 style hot air gun. If that's the case, there are plenty to
choose from on eBay:

If you go down the list, most are for 220VAC, but some include a
choice of voltage, such as:

The coiled ones on the ceramic form look drastically different from
the "bird nest" ones that are used in the X-tronics station. I
noticed that they both have the same plug so they could be
interchangable.
