Vintage Synth Repair

Question - for those of you with temperature-controlled soldering and
desoldering stations, what temperature do you normally have it set to
when working on your standard synth circuit boards?  I'm at 300 C,
but sometimes I have to boost it to unsolder something from a large
ground plane.

Anyone else?

  I typically use 310C to 350C.  For stuff that needs a lot of heat, I use 
a different iron (TC201 pencil with "#7" flat tip).  As long as the flux 
isn't boiling, I am in the right temperature range. ;)
