Madell desoldering stations

In a pinch I bought one of their soldering stations at Radio Shack a few years ago. It worked fine, great for the money considering I payed $60 or so for it. The pen broke after quite a few uses and I never fixed it. It also had an issue with rusting, but most things do in the Pacific Northwest. Frankly, I will stick to Hakko and Weller products because replacement parts are easier to get...
 
Never mind people, I got sick of dicking the problem around and just bought a new Aoyue 474A+ off of Amazon for $135 shipped, it's not a Pace or Hakko but I've heard pretty much only good things about them.

I've been seeing them on Ebay for $115 forever but all those idiots wanted $80 to ship! I don't care if it's coming from Venus I'm not spending that much to ship a 10lb item!

Ok on to the next question I guess... where's the best place to buy spare parts like tips and filters for Aoyues? :)
