I have seen a few topics about Solder Stations here on pinside, but not recently updated and not tailored to my needs. Long story short I have a budget to be able to spend $150 on a Solder Station to do the following:
- Circuit Board re-work
- Wire connecting (building Wire Harnesses for Arcade and pinball systems)
- Coil replacements
- Other electronic fun using Raspberry Pi / Arduino.

I have soldered in the past, but I consider myself a NOOB.

I went to Home Depot yesterday and bought Weller's WE1010 (https://www.homedepot.com/p/Weller-Digital-Soldering-Station-WE1010NA/304947077).

Just want to know in the community, what would you recommend for a solder station with the budget of $150?

My goal is to maximize my Solder Station with what I can afford. Is there something better for that value?

Thanks in advance to the NOOB in soldering.

Ah, Seems like the few who replied agree with you. It appears the one I got from Home Depot is in line with that particular model (provides a higher temperature capability along with a 70W solder iron).

Those higher temps seem like overkill if the intent of using the Soldering iron is for circuit board work. Still researching on temp ranges for application.

Sweet! Looks like i'm in the right direction for my first Solder station unit. Seems I could do well with less, but since I bought it already i'll be keeping this.
Thanks all for the quick input.
