Where is the Aoyue 937+ Digital Soldering Station made and can I rely on parts & service for it in the future ?

The Aoyue 937+ Digital Soldering Station, like so many other items, is made in China. I don't know about the future, but Amazon still sells them, as well as the soldering tips and accessories. The item is still active on the Aoyue website, along with tips and accessories. Aoyue has been in business since 1997.

Tl;dr- China, and maybe.I bought this for my g/f and she and I are both pretty happy with it, but it isn't like buying a hakko or metcal where you expect it to last until the sun dims. Having said that, when I cracked the heating element it was quick and easy to find parts both locally (Fry's) and online. Whether that will be true in ten years remains to be seen.

It's a Chinese-built soldering station. Genuine Hakko tips fit it fine. Mine has seen daily use since purchase, and I have yet to burn up a heater. Mine came with no spare heaters, so that may be difficult to replace without replacing the wand. You should be able to replace the whole wand with a Hakko wand, but at that point, you might as well have bought the real deal.

Lite-On HQ = Hsinchu, Taiwan. Made in China. If you're preference is buying components made IN and BY a US Co., Best of luck!

I read that the units are manufactured in the same plants as Esab, Thermal Arc. The machines are very good quality and Longevity has been around for almost 10 years. I frequent their welding forum at www.freeweldingforum.com and there is always helpful advice on welding on there. Check it out.

There a some good guides online to do this. I forgot it which one I used, but it took me about 35 minutes to do the whole process and I had never even soldered before.

Yes. A local hardware, large multi service store, electronic store, the manufacturer (expensive) Amazon or best on EBay. There are stores there and Chinese manufacturers who make replacement parts.

I agree with the other answers you received. If Amazon is unwilling to replace your mount, just purchase another one. Save yourself the frustration. By the time you figure out how to correspond with the factory in China, you could have a new one. This, by the way, is where you will find your answer -- the factory in China. None of us users would even bother trying to get parts. We would just purchase a new unit. It's an excellent mount for a non-commercial user and worth twice the price they sell for at Amazon.

Luckily, I've been really busy at work, and have not had time to install this wiring port yet, and I still have it, in it's original clamshell case.The unit was made in Taiwan. (Now, ROC). However, this is the second unit I have purchased from this same seller, via Amazon.com, and the first one fit and works perfectly! I see no reason for this one not to.

I think they mentioned Taiwan somewhere in their documentation. They have distribution and repair on the West Coast. My only gripe was I had to pay shipping all the way there ~$20 because something went SNAP (with a spark) internally so that expensive psu had to go on a "roadtrip". You'd think that the high price covers their "self insurance" (and customer's shipping) for such a "quality" unit. Grrr!

Several different sets are available. Use search term: Aoyue 937+soldering tipsI chose to buy the few individual tips I use most. So far they've held up well under hard use.

I do no remember it coming with solder but Radio Shack has rosin core solder and soldering irons. Use a 25-30 watt iron and small diameter solder and you should be o.k.

I don't know where but I can tell you that this is a solid piece of equipment. Tough durable. This will last you a lifetime. solid thick metal, not that flimsy thin piece of tin. this is a quality piece of equipment you will be happy with.

You got me looking, but I didn't do any better than you did. I did find a site for the US manufacturer -- and I hope you might let me know if you succeed. http://www.westpropower.com/service-center.iml JHClarke@gmavt.net

Mine has Made In China or Partially assembled in China. This is to be expected. Even Apple makes 99% of their product in China. Japan can't even compete with China's system. My brother had this ame drill/driver for five years used to convert new cars to Police and Fire vehicles. Never failed him. That's why I bought it.
