What are you looking for Bob ?
Something for general purpose wire soldering would be a gun.
Electronic repair work would be a bench type iron.
Weller D650 HD gun - 200/300 watts Sears.com
Weller 8200 standard gun - 140 watts. Sears.com
A medium duty gun on sale D550 - Sears.com
It's hard to tell which guns are actually stocked at the stores. I'd imagine the smaller gun.... 8200... would be stocked and would be a good overall choice.
