Every so often I find spare time to get to those pesky chores involving a bench instrument or soldering station that has stopped working, and the procedure can get as involved as any of the normal troubleshooting tasks that we read about and add our collective knowledge to the thread to aid in seeing the task to a solution.
Over the years, I've posted some of my shop equipment maintenance / repair posts in this Maintenance, Troubleshooting & Repair Forum category. I wonder if a dedicated Category would be useful. I presently have one on-going restoration project of a Weller EC2002A Soldering Station Digital Readout Base Unit that stopped working, as well as its' Readout had also stopped. Now, it's at the state where the Temp reading is not tracking the Set Temp. There is, at least, a Calibration Check and Re-Calibration Routine to deal with that in the service manual I tracked down. I haven't stopped to post a Thread about that sequence or repairs, but, thought as this sort of thing is common to what we all face over time, I thought I'd toss out that idea. For lack of any other Category, I'd continue using this Category I posted the thread on.
