Dad had a 3.3 volt Scope soldering iron that used a transformer. I have the same type of Scope iron but it has a long power lead that allows it to run from a 12 volt car battery.

I've still got the Scope iron I made as an Apprentice in the SEC Training Annex. Bakelite housing using a standard scope barrel and tip but all custom apart from that. Even wound the transformer it runs from. I might dig it out - haven't used it in years. Not even sure if you can get Scope parts any more?

Possibly Scope in name only, but...

Absolutely. I have an 80's miniscope. I bought dad a replacement bakelite superscope, replacement barrel for the miniscope and a set of spare tips & carbons to replace the supescope I broke when I was a lot younger.
