[Noisebridge-discuss] Source for a used Metcal?

[Martin Bogomolni]

Okay, so something new has entered my shopping list for ATX
hackerspace.  I've been scouring eBay, Craigslist, and the usual
haunts.  Is there -anywhere- that a Metcal can be had for a
less-than-arm-and-leg price?   There's a need for a high quality
soldering station, but we just can't afford to shell out for a
refurbished or new Metcal.   Any suggestions? (alternate, similar
quality units?)
