Hi
 I use the WTCPT type but I think these are now days being
replaced by the adjustable ones. I've stopped buying the
entire station and just buy the handles. The base just contains
a 24V transformer and a fuse. A radio shack transformer
works fine and is a lot cheaper. A little piece of plywood
and coat hanger wire make up the rest.
