[chbot] Recommendation - replacement soldering station

[Charles Manning]

You don't really say what your needs are. If you solder 5 hours a day then
clearly you'd want to go a bit more upmarket.

I have an SLD936. Low cost, works well. Wide range of replacement bits
almost free on aliexpress.

That's probably a good fit for the Weller style range of devices.
