I think any repair is good to share. If it makes it easier for the next guys with the same problem, then sharing is a good thing 🙂

Thanks Ian. I hope it does well also. I may see if I can modify it to accept Hakko tips after I get caught up on stuff.

I haven't heard of that one. I have some YZX Studio USB power monitors. The green one has Bluetooth capability. I have the yellow, red, and green ones. I also have a few of their 3A USB DC adjustable electronic loads. I added multiturn Pot's and different power connectors on at least one of them.

Good to see the approach you made in getting it calibrated. I hope it serves you well.

I've ran a search before for the Tenma Isolation Transformer Robert. Over 200 Euro excluding the extra shipping and import charges that follow afterwards is just too much for what its worth.
And I do not know about any good similar Tweezer Station for the price you paid either. Maybe some other time they show up cheaper. Have you seen what can be done with the new affordable UM24(C) USB tool with bluetooth and its PC software? You can read Power, Voltage, Amps, and Internal resistance on any tablet, player or USB device with it. And for instance be able to check the quality of any internal battery with it.

Thanks Lynn. I was hoping that some of yall would like a peek inside of it. Considering the quality of components used in the station, it was hard to believe their was no thermal compound. It wasn't necessary for the thermal compound to be conductive.
I am 58 and feel the same way. Hopefully I will make it to 78. lol!

It is always interesting to look inside of a new piece of equipment. It was amazing to find no thermal conductive compound on the devices mounted to the heat sink. I am 78yrs old and find it difficult to quit electronics repair as there is always something new to learn. Thanks for your well pictured and explained article.

Hi Albert. There probably isn't too much difference between the lesser expensive hot tweezer stations. You can probably find something similar where you are. The Tenma Isolation Transformer is not anything special either. I'm sure that you have something similar in your neck of the woods.
I love my Peak Atlas analyzers also. They all still work great!
