I have an absolutely ancient Weller WTCPN soldering station that is
disintegrating... it's probably at least 33 years old.
I don't have any need for surface mount sophistication.
What are people's thoughts on a cheapy replacement such as...
Weller WLC100 Soldering Station

I have one, good for general stuff. Temperature control isn't really
good, looks like just a triac control to the heating element. As a
result its easy to burn thru tips. If I had to do it again I'd go with
WES51 or the WESD51.
Or a Hakko

WES51 looks AOK, ordered, Thanks!

I love to cook with wine. Sometimes I even put it in the food.
