Year 2024 what about Solomon SL-30CMC Soldering Station Taiwan / TELE SL30

Product label indicates PRC :P

This is a true PRC clone made for the American market = CT-936CD
CT-936CD this is a dead horse in the past ten years.
The Taiwanese station does not have C / F add-on button. ;)

When any fancy soldering station fails, I always return back at my Back-up soldering station.
Few years ago I did replace the soldering iron with a genuine hand piece SL-I (24V 48W).
Back then wanted to also perform a basic temperature calibration, but I did not have any documentation at all.
February 2024, I did communicate with Sorny Roong Industrial CO., Ltd. Taiwan and I did request if possible to receive instructions.
I did receive instead, their recommendation of me to replace the entire PCB with the latest version.
This motivated me to search and to find of how many PCB versions they are out there. :)
Today I can count at least three.
I consider my own SL30 as a lesser troublesome revision regarding calibration.
Due to a lesser number of pots to adjust.
=========================================================
The worst revision has double the count of ADJ pots, PCB age unknown.
=========================================================
The newest 2018 revision of PCB, this has only two pots for calibration.
If someone has this soldering station, and this is production of 2019 and later, then he might have the latest PCB.
The long story in sort, I am somewhat hesitate to invest money for such an upgrade.
I did mention at the factory, that my current station this seems unable to heat up the soldering tip higher than 370 ~ 380 Celsius.
They did not answer of why, my station appears to have such a limitation.
=========================================================
I did succeed to calibrate my TELE SL-30 with the current soldering iron SL-I (24V 48W) :)
My only complain is that the cable of the soldering iron, this is a bit stiff ( not any soft silicon feeling to it).
For the purpose of temperature calibration, I did buy locally a new tip (three euro).
I did a choice here, to calibrate the station at the range 190C ~ 340 C (best reading accuracy).
The Master potentiometer ( temperature set), this has a printed scale that its not worth to count on it.
After the calibration, I am now aware that when I do set my station at 220C the temperature of the tip this is there too +/- 2C
Now I am getting ready to put back together my SL-30. 8)

They should deliver in your hands a pile of their new products for a product review.
This is of how they should react.

I do not think that this small factory it is ready to claim the glory of be ODM, they somewhat manage it staying alive as OEM source so far.
But my door this is always open if they decide to change.

Did you succeed calibrating your old SL30?
