<font face="Arial">For an out of town trip I got a $5 temperature
controlled iron that I figured would be good for the several
connections I needed to make. While it worked ok, the PC board
inside wasn't properly supported and moved, using the temperature
knob to hold it in place. As the board holds the heater when you
tighten the tip it pushes the board down and jambs the knob.<br>
<br>
A bit of glue around the base of the board helped.<br>
<br>
So, for lets say $10 for a slightly better model you can get an
occasional use temperature controlled iron.<br>

are temperature controlled irons that will sense the tip
temperature and turn the heating element on and off as needed.
But those are spendy.</blockquote>
