where in Canada are you ? I have several quite big heavy duty ones. check for any hamfests ( just google that term) in your area - often there are many available there because they were used to run CB type radios etc. It's an amateur electronics style flea market. I am in Brampton Ont so if you are not too far we could meet up they are too heavy to ship.
Thanks Phil

Hi folks,
This is a bit off-topic, but I hope somebody can help. As some of you know I live in Canada, but I am originally from Germany. Most of my tools can be switched between 110V/220V input, so that's fine, except for my soldering station. It is a Weller 40W digital station that I have had for years and I do not want to buy a new one. The problem: it only has a 220V input.
So I was looking for a step-up converter, and I was surprised by the crappy quality of almost everything out there. If you look on Amazon or Ebay, there are a lot of types very similar to this one here:
Usually around USD 50 with quite a few negative reviews (typically around 10%) of people saying it eventually almost burned up their house. Not interested! So I was trying to find something reasonable, which turned out to be a bit more difficult that I had originally anticipated. I found these here:
Do you think these are reliable? Or where else can I find something of decent quality? I am looking for something around 300-400W.
Many thanks and best wishes from Canada
Jens
