[Elecraft] OT: New soldering station needed

[Mark Goldberg]

I have a Hakko FX-888, works great, looks like a kids toy. I have a variety
of tips, large screwdriver to very small conical and have done everything
from AWG4 lugs to SOT23 SMTs, leaded and lead free solder. Temp adjustable
and very good heat and recovery. I have also used a Metcal and like the
Hakka just as much. Lots of tips available.
