Free to beginner/newb

After nearly 20 years in this hobby, over which I've logged countless builds, mods, repairs and tweaks, I finally broke down and bought a soldering station.

In honor of this momentous occasion, I'd like to free up some bench and closet space by passing on my two soldering irons and iron holder to someone new to the hobby.

These are nothing fancy, but given that I've soldered (and unsoldered) so many joints with them, they are nothing if not reliable.

  • 25W RadioShack iron with two worn but serviceable conical tips
  • 60W RadioShack iron with almost new chisel tip
  • RadioShack soldering iron holder with base held together with masking tape
  • lightly used sponge for iron holder
  • a couple odd tips that might or might not be compatible with these irons but I don't know where or why else I would have gotten them.

Postage is on me. Please express your interest by PM rather than replying to this post.

Please also note that this is not necessarily a first-come-first-served offer, and I can only hook one person up, so please don't get mad or whatever if I don't get back to you. However, anything you can share about past, current or future projects will likely work to your advantage.
