Yes, but thanks for the warning about non-Weller tips.

My tip seems to be working okay after a little bit of filing and a lot of
tinning with rosin-core solder. I wouldn't say that it's good as new, but
it's good enough that I was able to finish the MOTM-380 I was working on,
and then do an entire -800. I think that I may invest the few bucks in a new
tip before I tackle my next module, a -440 filter. Its circuit board is
pretty dense...
