Interestingly enough, a few months back, I repaired an old Metcal MX-500P soldering iron power supply for our contract surface mount assembly person. The old Metcals used 13.56Mhz at ~30W to power the iron heater. The whole thing was really quite mechanically and electrically elegant, I actually enjoyed digging into it and figuring out how it worked. Gary M. Solidus Technologies, Inc.
