We use an inexpensive Hakko FX-888 station now, but they
discontinued the dial control and went to digital only. I prefer

We also have a Metcal high end station but rarely use it since we
got the Hakko.<br>

oh fellow stagecrafters,

I have a Weller WES51 that is no longer maintaining temperature.
It has the right tip... Is it worth trying to replace the iron,
or the whole thing?

TIA,
