Hi All,
New to these forums but they seem like a good place to ask this question:
I want to buy a Weller WES51 Analog Soldering Station from the US, is it possible to get it to work in the UK? It requires 120V, but mains in the UK is 230V. Bit of a noob with regards to this, any help would be much appreciated,
Cheers

No. These are designed to run on 120v only. You might be able to find a voltage converter or step-down transformer with enough capacity to run it. But you would probably be better off with a unit designed for 230v operation.

In that case, can anyone recommend a good soldering station suitable for PCB work, available in the UK?
