Trash Picked Weller Soldering Station - Can I repair a "dead" station?
Ғылым және технология
My line of works occasionally lands me some interesting stuff being thrown out. Lets see if I can repair this WD1 soldering station that was seemingly abused to death.

The age old electricians problem To repair a soldering iron requires a soldering iron. Nicely done.
It's cool it was this easy ! ^w^ It's always really satisfying repairing something.
I have seen Dave Jones video also. We really should make an auto feed soldering iron! ;)
awesome work dude !
Any time i find a nice weller soldering station it usually needs a new tip from a discontinued range(at 60-120USD each) so its not worth saving.
a technician who does not know how to repair a soldering station🤣🤣🤣 funny... i like your video...
i dont find "whatever works for you" condesending cause tastes differ a lot, some people can't work without tiny finger to tip distance (im one of them) while others will use the old style chinese irons which have huge finger to tip distance and love it
Thank you for the info. I dropped my wand on my WE1010 and it landed tip first on the concrete garage floor an it broke the wires inside the wand. I ordered a new wand and the station wouldn't turn on. It has the same fuse that showed on your video. I'm betting that is the same issue with mine.
I never seen that kind of fuse ,what type fuse is that and where do you get them at.
I need an iron like the first one you picked up. They are unavailable now :(
I have a weller tc201t iron for a wtcpt and the station is working but the spring loaded magnastat switch assembly heater that goes inside the ec234 element seems to be broken. Any way to salvage these or get a replacement? Factory date is 1994.

I would honestly upgrade to something with a little more control. I still recommend the WESD51, especially if you can get a cheap one used.

@@CelGenStudios I ended up fixing it. The heater had some light rust under the contacts. Just used some sandpaper. And I did pick up a wesd51 with the lcd So Ill be using that now.

I don't actually know, sorry.
They probably knew how to change the fuse but they had no way to solder a new fuse in with a broken station
Congratulations you haven’t been fixed quickly jey London
You dont pick a Weller station from trash....
