Hi all
I was generously given an SMD rework station from EDSYN consisting of a base station PS540 and hot air gun "LONER" model 920 CL1380.
Now, it comes with strings attached: It's missing the tip and the calibration sticker says year of '89.
A quick test revealed that when turning on the heater and pump hot air comes out of the gun, but I didn't check it further.
I found the manufacturers homepage, but there's an abundance of parts and I have no idea which one to get
Questions:
- Is EDSYN a good brand (never heard of it) and model and is it worth trying to refurbish it?
- Which tips or parts would I need after so many years have passed?
- Can I order these in Europe? Shipping from the US is a bit steep.. the page doesn't work which is a bit worrying: http://www.edsyn-europa.de/
I would prefer to put it back into service, but if it's easier to just get a cheaper device which is new and works, it's also fine for me.
Thanks for your advice!
PS: I found a manual, but it seems to be more about a soldering iron than the hot air gun
