Default Re: Weller PU81 / WS81 - opinions?

My Weller TCP 24v iron needed another Mag switch.... so I looked online for some sort of replacement. I selected a temp controller China special...... but although it does work ok, occasionally the temp sensor sticks and the tip temperature soars..... so.. I switch it off.... tap the stem on the bench, re apply power and its ok.. till next time. I also get fed up of changing tips for larger or smaller ends... so I just bought another iron assy... saves me messing about. and at about a tenner.......no contest.
