OK, since I now have two pieces of equipment I need to get a decent
soldering iron to work on, I'm wondering if people could make any
recommendations. I'm needing it for my PDP-8/m front panel, and for the DEC
VR260 I want to revive. I'll probably pick it up from Fry's this weekend.
I'm thinking I want a WES50 Weller Soldering Station, as it looks like a
good balance between cheapness and high-end. Of course anything would be a
good replacement for the el'cheapo 20 year old Radio Shack Soldering Iron
I've currently got :^) I've got to admit that the WSD80 looks nice though.
Oh, in researching this I ran across this web page that might be of interest
to people, "Basic Soldering FAQ"
