Hi Dave.
On the advice of some fellow modelers that I hold in high regard I bought this.

The Xytronic LF-389D
Some of the best $ I have ever spent. I had to use it to put my kids Playstation 3 back together after the dog pulled it off the table. It made that job a breeze with its variable temp control. I used a photo of the circuit board to find out where the bits went and soldered away. Low and behold it worked perfectly when we plugged it in.
Having the variable temp control is awesome. I have asked on the forums what temp I should use to solder different things, and knowing that makes my soldering life a lot easier.
Good luck.
Brent
