Bad soldering iron - maybe even worse

I suspect these do have real temperature control, but the triac has failed. It could be a clone of this Hakko:

Take it apart and have a look inside... and we'd all like a look too. :)

 I am happy that I am not the only one using a soldering iron without temperature control and directly mains powered. :)

P.S. A glowing tip sounds like a shorted Triac in the 'lamp dimmer' circuit.

If you have a criticism, maybe offer how to fix it?

It is a T12/T15 tip based soldering station. Full temperature control.
You can get it for around $25
I think it come this cheap because they do not supply a decent stand for it.
