Something like this?



Believe it or not, that is what we used to use. I built and repaired radios as a kid and that was all we had. Use a great big iron for plumbing and a small one for electrical work.

I was not familiar with that "station" term! Had a look at a Weller and it does look like a neat unit. The iron I use for this sort of thing is an American Beauty pencil type - about same size, but not controllable. I also have two of those pistol gun types that I never seem to get to work properly.
