Soldering Iron recommendations

[Escape-To-88]

AS above.
Been a while since I've done any soldering and think a new iron is in order to get rid of the cack I've had before. It's mainly going to be for arcade work - any recommendations? Thinking maybe gas powered.
Cheers

Me and Brad both use a Hakko FX-888D - is aces.

Looks the business mate, might be after something nearer £50 at the mo.

That is a decision you will regret mate. Bite the bullet, pay for the hakko once and never have to buy a solder station again.

HAKKO FX-888D - do it properly, or not at all

I can see my arm will be twisted here!

I repaired an x68000 and socketed two neo geo bioses with my Hakko!

And a BBC Master PSU!
