[SML] Solder station temperature...

[Dale Farmer]

Weller still makes it so parts should be easily available.
Depending on what the exact failure is.   If it is still heating, but 
not going to the temperature set by the control, then I'd look at the 
base unit first.   May also be an intermittent open on the cable wiring 
or positional intermittent in the handpiece.  Test by unplugging and 
measuring continuity while wiggling it around.
Unless you want to use this as an excuse to upgrade to a more capable 
iron, probably more cost effective to fix it.
