I have an absolutely ancient Weller WTCPN soldering station that is

What are people's thoughts on a cheapy replacement such as...

Weller WLC100 Soldering Station

Fix it! That's what I did when mine fell apart, and I couldn't be
happier.

What kind of soldering station would you reccommend to do the repair
work?

It would cost more to re-cable, re-connector, replace the cracked
base, than to buy new.

I ordered the WES51.

I was just trying to solve the Zen puzzle of how one would fix a
soldering station with itself.


Zen can't solder worth a damn, no matter what he uses. ;-)
