Yes, I have an 808 for when I don't want to haul something big over to my PACE desoldering station. -----Original Message----- From: vcf-midatlantic [mailto:vcf-midatlantic-bounces@lists.vcfed.org] On Behalf Of Bill Degnan via vcf-midatlantic Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2021 3:34 PM To: vcf-midatlantic Cc: Bill Degnan Subject: Re: [vcf-midatlantic] WTB: A good soldering iron with adjustable heat I have a nice Hakko desoldering gun though, they're good On Wed, Jan 27, 2021 at 3:24 PM Chris Fala via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

Agreed... The 1010NA is Weller's entry level station.

The old analog entry level station was the Weller WES51 If you can find one, I'd suspect years of life left on it.

I really believe a simple Weller with a variable heat control station

the way to go. That was either Dan or Bill S's suggestion to me 15 years ago when I asked. I have only needed to replace the iron itself once, I replace tips every so often (which I bought cheap from Radioshack closeout). bill

I donated a pretty nice Weller to the VCF a little over a year ago. If the VCF wants to sell it to your friend and use the money for something else, it wouldn't bother me any.

A friend is looking for a good quality soldering iron with adjustable heat.
Anyone going to the workshop selling one or know where I can find one?
