Default Wasp/Spec 12v Soldering Iron Tip

Hi anyone,

does anybody remember Wasp racing/Spec 12v Soldering Iron's?

Did anybody take over them or make anything similar, as I'm after a new Tip.

Hopefully I'll hear from someone.

Kane

Hi Kane

I remember Wasp Racing well. Terry Sadler and his family were such amazing people, they ran surrey radio control car club..

I don't believe anybody took over sadly.

Best Wishes
Stu

To the guys who may have contacted wasp, the guy is in hospital at the moment, so his son will help out when sorted.
