All,
I have an older (ok real old) Hexacon Vara-Temp MV15 Soldering Station.

I believe it was my late dads.

I powered it up the other night to realize that the soldering tips were no longer with the station after our recent relocation. Station Heats up just fine. I usually used this station for my fine soldering.

From memory....the tips went around...not a screw in type.

Honestly I am not overly familiar with Soldering tip selection or even how to select the correct tips etc. The last tips were bought more than a decade ago for this station...

I would like to know where I could get tips for this old station and how to match station to tips...is it by size and/or station make/ model?

Thanks
Chris

 

Soldering iron tips are not generally interchangeable between different makes/models. If you iron looks like this then the tips are still available.

Hexacon is still in business, still make soldering irons and stations. You could email them.

 

Also you can find reference form this Tip selection guide.

All,
This looks to be exactly the same unit except mine is a tan color one.

The tips from the drawings look correct. The tips slide over with circle rings I believe keeping things in place.

Thanks for the help!

All,
Looks like the ones I had or need were Hexacon sleeve tips.

Thanks

All,
Got a Quick Response from Hexacon.

They say yes they are available and are Sleeve type.

The following tips will work;
HT880X -> HT886X.
