Folks,
I've decided it's time I learn how to solder things with the ultimate goal of replacing bad capacitors. However, I have no equipment. I was hoping for some suggestions, please.
I don't have a ton of dough to drop on this. I'm looking to started with a soldering station and some basic tools for less than $300, if possible. If that's not realistic, please feel free to correct me.
I'd like a brand and model that is reliable and of decent quality.
I'd prefer to have a station is digitally controlled (i.e. I can select a specific temperature value).
Reading though the material on this site it looks like I need something with a minimum power of 60 watts.
It would be nice to have something that it is reasonably to find parts and/or tips for.
Shopping online is fine.
I hope that isn't too vague. Thank you for your time.
