Hakko 808 Desoldering Pump Repair 

This Hakko 808 was manufactured in 2012. These tools are made in Japan with great attention to details. The heating element is the weak spot.
Original Hakko parts are no longer manufactured and almost unavailable. However, a Chinese heating element S-993A can replace the Japanese Hakko original. The additional cost of about $20 (June 2024) is for the set of three soldering tips, since Hakko tips do not fit in the new heater. Overall cost of the parts - heater and three tips - is around $40
