    Depends on what he meant by "odd electronics repairs". :) I think I got mine
    for about $125, but that was a few years ago. I've found that the cheapy ones
    never last long. A good iron makes a world of difference. My favorite place
    for electronicia is Joseph Electronics on Milwaukee and Dempster. They used to
    be called Zack and before that Joseph.
