[BC] Irons for silver soldering copper strap

[Jason Houts]

Those are probably the ones.  The last time I did strap, I used propane.
Back in the day, I remember seeing my friend using a very large Iron.  It
had a wood handle, and a very large tip.  It was a beast, and got very hot.
He outfitted the entire station with this thing.  The station had the AM
transmitter in the back room, and copper everywhere.  Collins tube
consoles......Chinese tubes.....DAP processor...MX1...

I don't know where to get them now, but 
I do have some of the old AT&T soldering
"pencils" that they used on the waveguide
among other things.  Great big old things,
when you plug them in you can hear the AC
meter spinning.

About 14 inches long, chisel tip about as big as
a thumb, with a stand.  Is that the beast you are
looking for?
