The current discussions on soldering irons prompted me to look again for replacement soldering bits, as I had over previous years found no reference to old-type Oryx soldering irons closer than South Africa.
I was most pleased to find Brewsters Ltd, 01752 665011, in Plymouth (Devon, UK - for anyone reading this from abroad).

I suspect they have a one-off limited stock of these, though they did not actually say so.
These arrived promptly & appear to fit my 1978 Oryx50.

I also discovered that the South African source selling the irons has now a website.
