I would like to suggest that DJ reconsider, and take up Weller marketing on their offer of a complimentary Weller station,
but.. insist it be the same 120 volt model.
Fuse the sucker up appropriately so it runs ok on 120v,
but fuse pops on 240v ...minus billowing mushroom clouds
Post it on Youtube, title it...
"Weller Smoke Machine: Round 2" or similar, and send Weller the URL.
They might snap out of their backslapping 'we can't do wrong' corporate mind cage,
make some phone calls to wherever/whoever really makes their gear,
and rattle out some coins from the XMAS 2019 piggy bank fund,
for a bulk order of fuse holders, fuses, thermal cutouts, some rolls of solder,
and implement -FUSED- Weller soldering station models (or Hakko if cheaper
) on the assembly line,
to avoid delays due to possible fires and or smoke
Penny Pinching TIP: The marketing department can be commissioned to do the work
instead of scripting excuses and get some actual hands on experience with the products they
flog market
