Yet another Honey-Do: Growling washing machine, Pt 1

[DIYSwede]

Firstly - I'm not putting down "sodding stations" per se - [I use Weller stations often at work] -
merely whining of the non-availability of an inexpensive, temp-controlled 75 W-ish, exchangeable tip iron
to stash into my already filled and heavy "Get-go tool portfolio".
I just can't cram a station in there, and I'd need the "bonus" weight like a hole in the head.

Then, secondly - the whole point (no pun intended) of the operation was fitting my DIYed scoop point in -
which simply cannot be done in a sealed tip unit - it doesn't matter how inexpensive or uncheap it is.

BTW: -Please tell us a little how you built your 230V 50Hz test setup, in "The Land of Round Doorknobs", Jdurand!
