Craiguk Posted January 26, 2022 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 She still boots thank god, I'm guessing it's a good idea not to use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetdarkdestiny Posted January 26, 2022 Report Share Posted January 26, 2022 Holly squirrel. (2 billion emoticons but no squirrel?) It's maybe a good idea to remove these caps (and the clock cap if not already) and order some new one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes holy squirrel is correct lol, I did the clock one a few years back, any idea where I can get replacements and what the correct values are. I was thinking of RS components or Farnell as I'm in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bowlsnapper Posted February 8, 2022 Report Share Posted February 8, 2022 (edited) Anybody know what those capacitors are for? Been wondering for a while now. Also, Christ on a cracker, that is some knarly corrosion. Edited February 8, 2022 by Bowlsnapper 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those Weller stations are great, they were and still are quite pricey. Mine is one of the MOD ones that were made for the MOD and certain Defence contractors. It came with a ceramic PCB Yup your eye did not miss read that. Ceramic. Think baked thin pcb thick bone china with a coating and carbon pcb tracks and bonded on components. Great no RF signature and really efficient, until it dies. I now only have one setting no matter where you put the dial, red glowing hot. Weller dont make the boards anymore and several of the parts have no markings so I cant even replace the board with a cloned standard printed at PCBway etc. Shame as the PCB is not too hard to trace out. Seen the replacement boards go on line for silly money, my whole rework station cost less. So sadly it just sits there until one day I find another or have time to try and reverse engineer it.
