Thanks guys for your comments.I was reminded of one of my bad habits which is to solder several joints w/o cleaning and tinning the tip and I know better.Sometimes I want to solder too fast when restoring radios. Researched Oki and would like to try their irons but price holds me back. Think I'll add a soldering station to my bench. Probably buy an inexpensive Weller WLC100 ,gain some experience with it and go from there. Thanks again.
