[Boatanchors] What solder station to buy?

[Revcom]

Gene,
I use an 'old' Weller WTCPL station.  It is on from 9A to 7P 6 days a week. 
Use the PTA7 tips predominately, have a smaller one for leetle stuff and a 
very heavy one for doing chassis work and PL connectors.  Hasn't failed 
other than thermo sticking a couple times.  A whack on bench cures that, hi.
It is NOT super technical design, very simple, has burn proof cord and 
"cackles away" week after week, for past 22+ years.  I think they are still 
available.  The Heko is very good stuff too, firm in Wichita, Kansas 
distributes them...

I know this has been discussed before, but I would like the collective
opinion of the group as to what solder station to buy.

It is to used for general boatanchor work and must be inexpensive, like the
Weller WES51:
