Charles, We saw the same problem with the Pace, we solder a variety of high temp alloys and ended up with the Hakko FM202. Much better results and special tips available for soldering HMP and gold....

We found that the temp. recovery was slow compared to our Metcal. For most jobs the iron worked fine but when we tried to solder anything heavy we had problems. -----Original Message----- From: Diamond, Pat [mailto:[log in to unmask]] Sent: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 2:32 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] Pace soldering irons Hi all, We have just purchased some of the new Pace Tempwise soldering irons which are microprocessor controlled, we are having a few teething problems with stability when checking the tip temperature. Has anyone out there had any experience with this problem? We are using a Hakko 191 thermometer to check the tip temperature.
