[Elecraft] Soldering Stations

[David Toepfer]

My suggestion (thought not cheap):

936-12 Solder Station (ESD Safe - Black)

get the tip cleaner too (you can refill it with Chore Boy pads)

599B Tip Cleaner

I bought one for my KX1 build and it is a joy,

I would also like to take the time to mention to everyone about the importance
of a fume fan just to get the solder fumes sucked away from your breathing
space as you solder.  I made mine from old computer fans.  If it was higher
speed and volume this might cause a static buildup issue, but the iron I
mentioned is ESD safe and I always keep a static strap on my wrist (another
important thing to remember).

Hope this helps.
