The Xytronics soldering station you are considering is a fine choice....I borrowed an Xytronics model 168 soldering station (different model, but similar, has analog temp meter) to assemble the first 1/2 of my K2, when my "lender" needed it to be returned for his own projects. I purchased a Techamerica (Radio Shack brand on sale for $50 at the time) and finished the K2 with it, but the "iron" is much longer and clumsier to use than the Xytronics. Best part of this story is that last summer I found a brand new in the box, never used Xytronic Model 168 at a garage sale for $5.00 !! Also included was a 1 lb. new roll of Kester 44 solder! I/m sure the gent that sold it didn't know what he had....probably was given as a gift?
