I have had a Hakko 936 for several years. ESD safe, temp control (not digital, though), easy to find tips. I use silver solder exclusively. Never a problem. You can find one for about $100.

I'll second that recommendation. I have had mine for a couple of years and it has performed great. It heats quickly and doesn't overheat when I forget to turn it off. I can adjust the temp. based on the need.
I paid about $90. A lovely tool.

The 936 is a well designed soldering station.
I understand the basic idea, but what specifically does this mean?
Any comments on these budget models?

ESD = electrostatic discharge. It means you won't fry MOSFETS soldering them. That's important for modern output devices and computer chips. Nothing else much cares. Tubes won't even notice; neither will your cables.
