OK folks, I will try an entire re-write to get the info out. Prior attemps
were rejected because of some offenive word(s) in the body.
I discovered that I had modified my Soloman station 5 years ago. I added
one 1 meg resistor from a wire that does connect to the tip shell to the
grounding post on the back and another 1 meg resistor from the grounding
post to the line cord ground wire, so my soldering station does have an ESD
discharging path to ground. Easy to do, and I will supply details if anyone
asks.

The Soloman 4449 is listed as having an "isolated tip".
Am I correct in thinking that this would not be an "ESD safe" iron?
