Weller station gone bad--how to fix?

============================= Not having such a Weller soldering iron myself ,nevertheless I am interested in the MOV (firing) voltage against the normal operating voltage . Also , is it DC or AC ?

There are no rectifiers in the WTCP series base ... all AC. Weller does make a heater for this series that works at 12 volts (DC) for mobile work.

========================== Harvey , Tnx for the useful info . I was interested in the spike voltage suppression level of the MOV, which is required since the heater element is for AC . In the event of DC a reversely connected diode would have done the trick .
