Forgive me for butting in, but I was wondering where I might find a 1mm
penciltip iron?



John! No "butting in" at all! I had a "Princess" iron by Ungar some years
back, before SMT and the invention of the light-bulb, and IT came with TINY
tips of several shapes. Cost a week's wages (for those days)! Body was no
larger than a ball-point pen. Was 15 W. as I recall. I haven't had to buy a
new iron in SO long, it has gotten difficult to find replacement (iron-plated)
tips for my "normal size" Ungar irons!

Suggest you simply Google Ungar and then see if they still sell the
"Princess" line. (surely a product-concept of a gender-challenged person!)
