I currently use a Weller WES-50 (now replaced by the WES-51), but previously had a Xytronic soldering station which looked identical to the AUTO-TEMP 379 (I think it was a different model which was later discontinued). It worked fine for kit building and was priced right. I definitely recommend the use of a temperature-controlled soldering station such as this. 73, Bob, N7XY _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
