Very nice offer, Ersa soldering station
Level42:
OK, I had a bad experience with Conrad, let's give them a second try.
My trusty Weller broke down, and since I use it so much the last years, I thought it would be a good idea to get a temperature controlled station instead of the magnastat.
Today I was mailed this special offer:

Ersa is a famous brand in soldering. They do everything related to soldering, including the big factory soldering machines, so it's not a no-name product.
Looks like a very nice price too, normally €165, now €89.95. I know it's not a Metcal, but they are simply too expensive and not available used here.
I think by any means, this is a good upgrade.
Here's a datasheet:

Bet it was a pretty popular deal as delivery date is now stated at feb. 10, but I have no rush at this moment.
Maybe a nice suggestion for some other Dutchies here, but beware offer is only TODAY.
CheffoJeffo:
That is definitely much sexier looking than my soldering station ...
Level42:
This is my currenct station and it looks like ancient compared to the Ersa:
Read a couple of reports by people who already bought it and it's apparently a pretty good one.
The pluses:
-3 buttons to quickly select preset temperatures (handy if are doing some fine work and then have to do a really large area)
- pretty quick on temp
- good tip(s)
Minus:
- no teflon lead between station and handle. Not really a problem for me as my current one has a pretty sturdy PVC cable too
This may not be for the people who are soldering all day, but it'll be fine for the hobby.

Damn.... I'm sad to admit I remain in the stone ages then. :laugh2:
El' Cheapo at it's best.
(but I just finished replacing surface mounts on a harddrive pcb with it)
That Ersa unit looks sweet.
Level42:
SMD with that ! Impressive. You like to torture yourself right ? :laugh2: :laugh2:
So there are still people doing component repairs on HD PCB's. Impressive ! With current prices most people just get a new drive....(unless there was some precious data on there ?)
