Looking to buy my first DIY 500 series module, could use some help with choosing a soldering iron/kit
Hey all, like the title says, I'm looking to get into assembling vintage 500 series modules and I'm a bit overwhelmed in deciding on a soldering iron. I was checking out something like this but not really sure if it's total junk or not. Thanks everybody!
It seems like a bit overkill to me... but, hey, I have simpler tastes I guess.
You could probably get a hot air rework station with a regular soldering iron for the same price (or a bit more). Seems like a wiser investment IMO.
Highly recommend a Hakko. Ive been through so many irons and this is the first that I love.
