Thanks for the advice. I am just using it for hobby use. Trying to
build myself a simple single board computer based on the 68000 chip,
and just don't want to get messy with FeCl. So I bought a Standard
Pneumatics 6021 off ebay.
Exactly same as this one but with a P2224 bit.

WHat is the smallest bit you can get? I like to work with very small
wires.
My advice would be DON'T!!
Wire wrap seemed like a good idea 30 years ago.
With today's edge speeds, you're likely to build something that
doesn't work reliably. The ground plane is your friend. If you have
the slightest bit of dyslexia and
get it off by one, you'll make a real mess of things. Been there, done
that. The wire you need to move is always on the bottom of the stack.
Wire wrap sockets aren't cheap.
It's not my place to tell you how to run your hobby, but I won't let
that stop me.
You could buy a dozen 68000 computers or 2-dozen Wintel machines for
what it cost for for shipping and handling on that wire wrap gun.
If you were to build something out of a PIC or AVR or...at least you'd
be learning a transferable skill on current technology. And your wire
wrap stuff would be outside the processor core and more likely to work.
I've spent my 2-cents....I stop now.
