¸é±ð²Ô¨¦±ð,
What I've got is a Weller TC202 with a TC201P iron that I inherited from my father, with three tips (long conical #8, screwdriver #7, and narrow screwdriver #6). From a Weller tech sheet I found online it looks like these are 800¡ãF, 700¡ãF and 600*F respectively. I was using one of the screwdriver tips when I was having trouble with the ceramic strip, so I should try the long conical tip instead (which will let me get into the terminal slot better than the screwdriver tips did. I was using them because I had heard that the broader tip transferred heat better, but maybe an extra 100 or 200 degress is worth more than surface conduction).
I should also order a few extra tips: the ones I have belonged to my father and date from some time in the 80s, and they already had a fair amount of use when they came to me.
I'll be sure to get myself some scotch brite pads too.
