[Elecraft] Soldering stations

[Alexandra Carter]

WRONG. You do have to change the tip on the Magnetrol type Weller 
stations, of which the WTCPT is one, that's the beauty of it - no 
nimrod technicians cranking a variable control up to 900 degrees and 
lifting pads. I was just in fry's today buying two tips for my own 
beloved WTCPT, a 700 degree fine point tip and an 800 degree flat tip.
