re. soldering irons

[Steve Ridley-MV]

A good price/quality compromise is to buy a Weller TCP iron
and build your own power supply.  It's only a 24v 2A
transformer in a box.  You can buy the soldering iron stand
seperately and it still works out much cheaper than a bought 
power supply  - and it doesn't fall to bits when you drop it!

This still leaves the minor problem of what to use to solder
your soldering iron supply together...

Hmmm
