Howdy, Thanks Ian! Sounds like I'm out of luck on buying a new Oryx 50. The writing on the handle is nearly worn off. Now I can see why the people at Wahl didn't know what I was talking about. I had it all wrong. DOH! I Should have looked carefully at the stand! It plainly reads ORYX and below that Reading England. The name is moulded into the black plastic base but not painted or ink stamped. I just never noticed it before. Wahl is still selling their battery powered soldering iron. I used to own one of those until the nicad's went bad. They're in Sterling Ill. Ah, too bad. Here's another picture of the genuine article: Someone in the USA would like to identify this old British made soldering iron: As others have said - Oryx Photo of mine (with stand - sponge missing) at:- http://www.diy.110mb.com/oryx.jpg -- 73 from Ian GM3SEK 'In Practice' columnist for RadCom (RSGB) http://www.ifwtech.co.uk/g3sek |

iron. I used to own one of those until the nicad's went bad. They're in Sterling Ill. I have had one since 79' and is on it's 5th set of batteries. I replaced the last set with 3ah NiMH and they never seem to go down now and has a permanent place in my field case. |
