Craftsman soldering gun

[CTyankee]

Picked this up today at the local Goodwill. It works(I burned myself) and has a nifty light to light up the work area. I think the case will clean up, mostly seems like some sort of grunge on it.

My dad had one of those. Never worked that well, maybe the one he bought was a dud. Don't know why he didn't return it. Possibly was given to him by a co-worker.

Nice! Made by Wen, probably ~ late 60s - early 70's.

When I think of guns like that, Weller seems to have most of the market. I have a couple. The light bulbs are special. There is a lens built into the glass of the bulb to focus the light on the tip.
