Antex bit - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

I have an Antex XS25 soldering iron, with nice flexible silicon lead, the bit is long overdue for replacement, it has an external clip and has been much better than the previous bit which was not so fitted, and did not seem to get heat transferred to it so well. Looking for replacement bits, those with the clip are said to be for a TC25, will this fit my XS25 ? All those being described as for the XS25 do not have the clip.

The external clipped type are not available any more. You could try phoning Ian at Antex in Plymouth, he is extremely helpful. 01752 695756
