[1/2] Desoldering station ZD-915 [upgrade plastic filter enclosure for glass one] overal opinion

As a software developer and IT technician, I’m less interested in the "magic" of radio signals and more focused on bridging the gap between software and hardware. I treat professional, military, and commercial radios as data transport layers—experimenting with SSH over DMR, digital data transmission, and solar-powered IT infrastructure.
I acquire surplus gear and customer returns to document the process of restoring it to service or repurposing it for modern digital communication needs.

Short: Over 3 year of use ( one hour per week). No problems at all except my stupidity that i explain in video:) No heating element replace needed.
After replace plastic filter enclosure for glass one, working perfect and easy to clean up. ( i bough whole new glass heating gun from not working unit) but finally manage to get my hands on glass "replacement" to fix plastic one and make "upgrade" video.
On video i refer to expensive one "SC7000Z DEN-ON" that i got my hands on for couple of weeks but i prefer stay on this one because of lot cheaper maintenance cost of spare elements.
