Ed: Pace ST-50 - we use them at work - can't beat 'em if you can't afford a Metcal. The tips are integrated into the heating element and they are a breeze to change. They also regulate FAST. Here's one on e-Bay for $150 (I got the same one for $100)

I don't use my soldering station a lot, maybe once a month and once in a while put a kit together, so I don't need a really expensive unit, but probably one under $100 for my needs with temperature control. Any suggestions? Thanks much 73 Ed ~ k6sdw ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to mundschen...@msn.com ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
