[Elecraft] Weller Solder Station

[Bob Miller]

Well, I didn't pay too much attention to the recent thread concerning solder 
stations because I have a less than one year old Weller WESD51.  I have been 
very happy with it until last night. While working on my KD1JV AT Sprint III 
the digital readout starting bouncing all over the place. Sometimes the iron 
will heat up and at other times not at all. The temp is reading 850deg most 
of the time and I can't set the temp at all.

I guess I could replace the pencil and see if that solves the problem. With 
tax and all that would be about $35 but I'm not sure that will solve the 
problem.

Anyone had this problem with this station?
