Enders Baby 1962 Soldering Stove (Full set)

Hello,

lately I have been very lucky to acquire this full soldering set that includes the Baby Enders 1962 stove.

In the past we were asking to ourselves if it was suited for soldering or for sterilization… well I guess now we have the answer.

The set includes also an electric soldering iron and many tools and accessories… a couple are missing, but I will check on the included list what to find to complete the box. I will need to translate from German.

Enjoy,

Nicola

Bund or GDR??

 

@John Eggert not sure, but I will investigate more.

Hi must be Bundeswehr equiment because XXXX-XX-XXX-XXXX is the standard pattern of NSN = Nato Stock Number

 

And congrats to you for your nice find!

 

@A33ver thanks for the input, that was my thought but I wanted to verify first.

In any case 1961 was the year of the German crisis, so an emblematic date for this set.

@Nicola Francesco Elia That’s a grand tool set Nicola. All that’s needed for cable repairs apparently. Translation:

@Nicola Francesco Elia .Great this set! Congratulations on your find.

 

@presscall thanks John, Inknow it was for cables repair, but how you translated that text so fast?

Thanks!

@Knee Thanks Stanislaw

 

I inserted your photo of the instructions into Google Translate.

 

Great find !

 

@presscall oh ok, google translate is getting better and better then

@Harder D. Soerensen thanks!

 

Nice kit.

 

Cool kit. I found the stove alone so was happy to see the complete kit. I translated some more of the instructions and there's a step that says heat the tongs #2 in the kit before using them to splice wires. I'd be interested to see what those tongs hidden behind the #2 look like and how or if they fit on the one support arm in the stove. Thanks
