Only slightly OT: Solder Tip Lifetime

2001-08-03 by jpotter@it.rjf.com

How often should you replace soldering iron tips?  Is there some way 
to tell they're going?  If it matters - I've got a Weller WTCPT.

Finished the 900 PSU, the 110 VCA/RM, the 820 Lag, and will be 
finishing up a 300 VCO this weekend.  Not too bad at all.  Neither 
the 110 or 820 worked 100% right away but didn't take too much 
troubleshooting to remedy.  Thanks for everyone's help.
