Burned up my Weller 60W

I was soldering some wires this afternoon and picked up my iron only to find it cold, well, lukewarm. It is a 7500 336B with a fine tip. Any thoughts on where to find a new one that won't break the bank? I am looking at ebay, but most seem to come with a huge tip. Are they easy to change? Thanks Aaron

I agree with Chris(WA).
I've got a big speed job that quits now and then.
I take out the tip clean everything up and it works like new.

I'm a big fan of the Weller WTCPT soldering stations; these temperature-controlled irons are the only ones I will use on printed circuit boards. The temperature is controlled by changing the tip, which makes temperature control very precise. They are a bit overkill if you're not working on electronics, however.

I googled on "weller soldering station" and got a bunch of hits. This company linked below has a wide selection of Weller irons and parts. I'll bet they have a replacement element for your iron.

Try the link below. I think this is what you need. We use these at work and the heating element screws in.

Usually on an iron the tip just screws in kind of like a light bulb. On a gun they are nutted on. Lots of times the come loose and make poor contact which is why they don"t heat.

Do you happen to know the model no? Weller is owned by Cooper Hand Tools and parts(tips.coil,thermocouple etc)should be available.
Might try True Value Hdwr as I think Cooper owns them too.

Cooper tools does make Weller solder irons and they are carried in most True Value Hardware stores but I can assure you Cooper does not own True Value nor vica-versa. True Value originated as Cotter & Co. a co-op under its founder John Cotter. Several years ago it merged with several other hardware chains and became Tru-Serv. Now it�s changed its name back to True Value and is still a co-op.
