Thanks Phil,

That Adcola is a certainly a look-alike externally but the handle
appears to be plastic one-piece and not two-piece bakelite as for the
M100 series. Can you tell me if the heater element in that one is the
same as the one on the pamphlet?

** Not the same.

I used to own one of the earlier two part, dark red handle models - back
in 1966.

Huge improvement over my previous 40 watt Birko.

Now, if you still had that one, I'd grab it off you...

I finally chucked away my old 15 watt Antex model C (a real soldering 'pencil'
if there ever was one) and 25 watt SOLON. They served me well.
