Resistance Soldering Unit.

[Rod Fearnley]

Has anybody got plans for building an RSU(Resistance Soldering Unit.) please. Or, know where I could obtain them. Preferably with U.K. standards and available accessories.
Cheers.

If you Google it, lots of choices in the UK.

Hello Rod, found a link that may interest you about building one.
From MLS. Search under Vance Bass
resistance soldering machine. It should come up with a download able PDF file.
I am always nervous about attaching files on forums. The web site that contains this file ( removed link not working)
I perused it, looks informative. Hope that gives you another resource.
Mike

The london road models RSU was recommended to me and I don't have any complaints about the unit, so long as you keep the page giving you the different power outputs its almost idiot proof, I am by no means an expert on these machines but this one has done everything I have asked of it.

I regret to this day when clearing out the Ruschbahn after Andy passed away not keeping his resistance soldering machine. I have found a few needs for it since then and his daughter gave me an open ‘take anything you like of his trains etc’ mandate.

Apologies, the site link did not work correctly and I removed it from my first post. Rod were you able to search and locate that information? If you do build a resistance soldering machine, please share your experience. I am thinking about building one as well.
Thanks, Mike

I still have a 1st Class membership over on MLS. Vance Bass no longer shows over there.
Dwight Ennis kept a lot of the files when it was sold by Shad Pulley. I’ll check with him.
Thanks anyway RR.

I think he still keeps an eye out and responds when queried. His email still works. Check out FH&PB:

His last post on MLS was in 2013, I'd say email him...
