That's what my search tells me. Both the W60D and the W61 use the same "CT Series" bits. (I had to find an Australian site which sold the tips and mentioned the W60D)
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

Okay, thanks for this! Now I'll be able to build my first kit. 8-)

Thanks @stephen_usher

Tiny gap on the lock ring but it feels secure. :)

@Cosmic Puppet https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/APC-Back-UPS ... ect=mobile

Seems a few popping up. Likely need new batteries but may be good enough to last half hour even under heavy load.

Thanks @exxos I've abandoned this for now. Got some money and just bought a capture card I've had bookmarked for years.
Together with the OSSC I'll be able to record the music programs playing. 8-) But yeah, a lot of money.

So...The Soldering Iron blew up Electroboom style and popped the breaker at the group. :lol:

There's a soldering station I can use there each week.

My very first attempt at soldering:

@Cosmic Puppet doesn't look too bad but does look like unleaded solder, horrible stuff. Use leaded solder if you can :)
If it ain't broke, test it to Destruction.

I've got several bits of solder and I wouldn't know one from another. I could ask the electrician at the group.

They both work ok, just leaded is nicer to use :)

+1

Avoid the lead-free stuff! IMHO you be setting yourself up for a world of headaches using the stuff.
