Can anyone recommend a good, moderately priced soldering station for
general electronics, including guitar and amplifier work?

Howzabout this one?

Nil,

Been wondering about this myself. Been looking at the Weller solder
stations, nice but expensive. I believe they are the "standard".

What I'm wondering is, they have temperature settings... What temp is
what? I've always gone by iron wattage for soldering work.

I have an AB763 amp build ready to start, I need a good solder station and
a good multimeter. Looking at fluke meters... Need to go to 1000 volts DC
I guess, which equals $2-300 dollars. Ouch!

It'll be interesting to see what anyone recommends. You may want to post
this to alt.guitars.amps as well. Many builders there.


I have one similar to the Weller. But it's 300 watt equal or less.
It's nice to have a good hot iron when u need it. I think it's one price
range higher. it's red.
I've yet to use it.
