The other poster's link worked for me; sadly I don't have a Fry's
(actually I have never seen one) and the only good electronics supply
place is unfriendly unless you know exactly what you want and have their
catalog numbers handy, they don't like to help you with a parts order.
However I was able to find the parts I needed on the other web site and
they hopefully will ship to me tomorrow. The interweb is a wonderful place!

DigiKey is a good place to keep in your link archive. They carry an ever
growing line of products, and they are very good for customer service.

Follow up - it needed a new barrel nut. I went ahead and bought an
assortment of new tips anyway, just because... package arrived today
and I installed the new barrel nut and all is good now. Should be
happily soldering for another 20 years or so :) thanks for the help guys
