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!)
