Gotcha. Had a feeling you were going to say something like that but the words on the picture had me wondering if it was some new cheap and cheerful chinese de-soldering contraption...
My Weller lasted 20 years and yes the tcp switch packed in. Looked all over the place but as above prices were high. I eventually bought a Vann Draper - digital SL-30 Still working fine after 12 years. Be careful though they come from China and the same case was used in a whole range of cheaper versions by many businesses which were rubbish and not up to the standard of Vann Draper. I remember my first soldering iron it was a Solon bought cheap from Woolworths in the 50s lasted a long time but -as I found out could not be used in transistor repair as the leakage was tremendous [fets blew].
