My own Maplin Iron (Not as fancy as yours) is now on duty in France after an iron replacement when the plastics failed.
Surely fixing your old one would be a good little project :)

I do intend to fix it so I can use else where from my main station location, however time is the issue.

Unfortunately I haven’t gotten round to doing a review of the Evercade Nexus when something else I pre-ordered popped up.

I guess you shouldn't be left alone with a credit card and a web browser...
I do hope that keyboard works a lot better than the Spectrum plus one it looks like it's modelled on 🤣
