Hey,
in german its really difficult to get nice soldering irons & stations, and the weller's are pretty expensive!
Well, why you don't build your own soldering station! You can pickup an weller soldering pen and build a little station for it,
what about ATMega8 controlled LCD with SET and IS Temps, backlight, and a thermostat for the pen.
Are YOU able to do that? I dont think so...
