Agree with Mike's comments on Weller.
My 24v WTCPT soldering station blew the element yesterday. (I hate that big tranny on a sys80 power supply - what a bitch to get out!)
For nearly the same price as the Weller element - I went to Jaycar today and got their Duratech TS1560 station...
Nice fine needle tip, temp adjustable - not bad for $60...
