I would also second that about Greg.  He has a 
vast knowledge of Weller irons and is a great 
person to do business with.

Just a word abt Greg, w9gb. I bought a Weller

the on-off switch does not work properly. I didn't
really pursue doing anything abt the switch until

out after people he sells to and would highly
recommend him as a reputable person to do business

I'm getting ready to build a K2. Where is the best place to purchase the
Weller WTCPT soldering station?

Regards,
Darrell, WA5VGO



Darrell -

If you wait till September 1, then you are eligible for a $20 rebate for a 
new WTCPT station purchase.

This is the Weller rebate information and flyer page
http://www.cooperhandtools.com/fallpromo/index.html

Fry's Electronics / Outpost.com is selling this station for $ 104.99.  You 
can purchase at their stores (Austin, TX closet to you)
or on-line at Outpost.com.  They are currently advertising a match any 
competitors price policy.

This will give you an initial price for local price shopping.

Action electronics (Santa, Ana, CA) is listing the station for $ 115.95

I have used Wassco for Internet/phone orders in the past, but their prices 
have risen over the past few months -- 
they do have excellent sales to watch for.

http://www.wassco.com/sinanddualso.html

Weller's Customer Service - South: (919) 362-7541
Should be able to provide you with names of Weller dealers / distributors in 
the Houston area


Used stations do appear at hamfests or eBay -- which can be easily 
repaired - if not working.
I sold my last WTCPT rebuild to a K2 builder last month, I am completing 
rebuilds of the earlier model (circa 1976 - WTCP/WTCPL)

These are less expensive than new.

You may also wish to look at the Weller WES51 station.  This station has 
been selling for less than $ 100
Action Electronics offers 10% off on the tip and accessories when purchased 
with the station (that's nice)

http://www.action-electronics.com/wewes51.htm

Outpost.com - $ 99
