I still have one of those,  though I seldom use it.  The power levels are 100W 
and 140W,  which is the smallest one they made,  though at one time I used to 
have one that was 100W only. They also made one that was somewhat higher in 
power,  but I never saw a need to get one of those,  figuring if I needed to 
work on plumbing I'd use a torch!

I also had a Wahl (?) gun at one point,  but the tips on those never seemed to 
last all that long for me,  dunno whatever happened to that one.
