Black Weller
The 'classic' temperature controlled bench soldering iron, used in industry for years, and replacement parts are still available.
The Weller TCP irons use a unique temperature control mechanism, where the magnetic properties (Curie-point) of the bit itself control the point where the power to the iron is switched off. Each bit has a stamped in the end to denote the switching temperature, the black Weller should use number 7 bits, 700F / 370C suitable for leaded soldering.
