Antex X25 Soldering Iron Practical Wireless 1973

[DrStrangelove]

The X25 was my first soldering iron, from around 15 right through university. No stand, so the mains lead regularly pulled it off the table - reflexes kicked in and I caught it by the hot end umpteen times.

I only did that once, with a Henley Solon 25W.

I didn't like the smell.

Or the white stripe across the fingers.
