Sort of OT Question about older Metcal soldering iron

 

Hi,
I picked up an Metcal PS2E-01 power supply at a hamfest recently. It did not come with an iron. I tried the iron from my MX500P system and it heated up to soldering temperature and seemed OK. There is a 1993 dated test sticker on the supply, so it is not a recent model.
Metcal has sold several different appearing power supplies, and I am wondering if the irons are compatible from model to model? Connector compatibility seems like kind of a risky metric for this kind of thing. Does anybody know if there are differences in output power or frequency between models?

Thanks,
BobH
