My Weller WTCP has done well for more than 30 years. I've had to
replace the cord once (I slammed a desk drawer on it); otherwise, no
problems other than the sponge tray corroding (wire brush prime and
paint). Parts are easy to find--and I've got a grocery bag full of
various tips that I bought for something like $0.15 each when
Sunnyvale Electronics went out of business (that'll date me).
