Is anyone still using one of these units in the USA?

What brand of setup transformer are you using?

If so where are you getting replacement soldering iron tips if you need one?

The Marklin soldering Station is actually made by a Chinese company - will have to check my notes as to which one. I think the generic ones are still available so your chances of getting irons and tips are good.

I have read them also made the same unit for Viessmann and other companies.

Yes, that's correct Viessmann did sell them but whether they have spare parts now is questionable.

The Solder Station is a Zhongdi ZD-937 - http://www.china-zhongdi.com/product/36.html

Best to contact them to find out if they can help. I have a Duratech branded station which also turned out to be a Zhongdi built device. The tip I had on my iron got permanently stuck on the iron and I damaged the iron getting it off. Zhongdi not only helped me identify the correct iron, but also supplied 3 new ones at about $15 each. The chap I dealt with was very helpful. Email them at the address given.

I am not sure but there is a defacto standard: Weller.
So on Ebay you may find a set of tips with the magnetic bit for temperature control
Here is an example on German ebay

Probably you may find an equivalent in your country
