Hi Rob,
Agree with Andy that it looks a bit used ! I have had exactly the same model for 35 years now and it is still going strong. Bits last forever if kept clean, I have just changed one as the first was the same age and getting a bit loose in the barrel !!
Very versatile especially for old sets which need a lot of umph to melt the joints. Rapid still sell the bits http://www.rapidonline.com/Tools-Equipme...tips-32461 all mine are the suffix 7 ones.
BTW all the valves tested by you are going great except the 6CL6 which I dropped on your kitchen floor !! Went Cathode short on me !
Best regards
John
