I have an old WTCP style Weller soldering station that I have been less-than impressed with. It uses the magnetically controlled soldering tips for temperature regulation, so you have to buy different tips to get different temperatures. They have not been very consistent for me and seem to rust very quickly and get stuck in the soldering pencil / heating element.

I would like to change to a digitally controlled soldering station that isn't ridiculously priced. How are the NEWER Wellers? What about Hakko? Any thoughts?

Willie
