I'm just getting started with vintage audio repair/restoration. My plan is to start with this soldering setup. Any comments or thoughts would be welcome!
Solder
Kester 44 60/40 Rosin Core 0.031" Diameter
https://www.amazon.com/KESTER-SOLDER-32117-24-6040-0027-Diameter/dp/B01MSWYSUU/
A one-pound pack is about the smallest they carry for a decent price.
Soldering Station
Hakko FX888D-23BY Digital Soldering Station
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00ANZRT4M
This one is highly recommend. I want one with a temperature readout so I know when it's ready.

Saw this one on youtube and the guy really liked it. At this point I don't want to spend $250 on a desoldering station.
Am I missing anything? All these products are pretty highly rated so I think this will be a good starter setup.
Thanks!
