Antex G Soldering Iron

Model G was an 18 W precision soldering iron that was available in 1973 and manufactured in England by the Plymouth based Antex Company. It came fitted with a 3/32-inch iron-coated long life bit, and retailed at £1.83 + 5p postage. This vintage soldering iron came in a black colour, with information stamped on it. Today, it would be rare to find one of these miniature pencil soldering irons. It is extremely comfortable to hold and ideal for precision soldering work.

Here is an extract from a 1973 advertisement showing the Model G for sale. If you see one of these going on eBay then snap it up quickly as they are becoming rare.
