Hakko 926

History question:
Would anyone happen to know when the venerable Hakko 926 soldering station
was introduced?
Pretty sure it was the 1980's, but no idea of the year.
Anyone?

Thanks
Dave.

I've had my Hakko 926 since about '85 or '86. It is still going strong
and is possibly the best soldering stations I've ever used. I have made
sure a few years ago to purchase a supply of new tips for the iron
before it becomes impossible to get them.

I also use the Hakko Future Product iron for lighter duty and fine pitch
surface mount soldering. It works great too.
