[Elecraft] Weller "back in action"

Monty -

Always glad to hear that another soldering station is "up and running"
Now you have a spare - if the digital runs into trouble !

I would suggest that you put a different tip on the WTCP station
than you have on the adjustable digital station.  It should be one that does
not require
adjusting of temperature for the most common work that you do.

Some suggestions:  Larger 1/8" chisel tip (PTC7 ?) for connectors (e.g.
microphone)
solder lugs and working on the old boatanchor; a small 1/32" chisel (PTF7)
for fine
PC board solder pads; or a long reach tip.
