Plane is to pilot as soldering iron is to electronics
hobbyist. You can get a nice controlled-temperature
soldering station at Sears, these days. Weller
WLC-100 I think. Handy.
I've had my Weller WTCPL since 1979 and would buy a
new one, if I had to. But I don't have to, ha! This
one still works perfectly! I have co-workers who
aren't as old as my soldering iron. And to have the
thermal mass on demand that only a Curie-effect
thermostat can provide, is worth it to me. If I
bought something else, I'd be wary that tips and other
parts might eventually become inaccessible. The value
is remembered long after the price is forgotten.
