For you i'd say try 750F
For me i'd say get out the weller 200W/300 W solder gun

Quoted from mof:Nub question - who can give a high level "when why and what for" on soldering iron vs soldering gun?
I have a hakko soldering iron workstation with a temp dial and a nice chisel tip that gets me through most situations, that I'm VERY happy with. But still very curious.
I use the gun under the playfield mostly, I like that i can let go of the trigger and it cools down quickly while i'm working on other things. i can leave it in the game and don't have to worry about it like an iron that would remain hot.. I also like it for braid, and light sockets if i need to solder the barrel to the bracket. Mine is a beast also. I think it's 300/200W. You really have to be quick with it on coils or you can melt things in a hurry....
