The Weller station is still under Weller warranty -- IF less than 1 year old. I would definitely contact Weller / Cooper Tools for warranty repair. http://www.cooperhandtools.com/brands/electronic_applications/index.htm
Here is the Adobe Acrobat warranty informaiton, note that out of warranty work can be expensive. http://www.cooperhandtools.com/brands/electronic_applications/PDFs/WellerRepairPricingPolicy.pdf Likely the problem is within the Weller base unit's electronics or possibly the temperature probe inside the iron. Save yourself some $$ and hold off on an iron purchase that you may not need (this is NOT a TCP series - where an iron change is 95% possibility of the problem). Call them Monday.

I have been very happy with it until last night. While working on my KD1JV AT Sprint III the digital readout starting bouncing all over the place. Sometimes the iron will heat up and at other times not at all. The temp is reading 850deg most of the time and I can't set the temp at all. I guess I could replace the pencil and see if that solves the problem. With tax and all that would be about $35 but I'm not sure that will solve the problem. Anyone had this problem with this station? _______________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Post to: [email protected] You must be a subscriber to post to the list.
