if i get them from digikey what sort of service should i expect?also would it be worth looking at the surface mount holders?

okay, so I have the tips and I bought some AA and AAA battery holders but there just isn't any space in the handle. So i am going back to getting a cr123a battery holder almost all of them seem to have pins on the bottom..I'm debating which one I should get i see that digikey has a bunch not sure if I should go with the lowest clearance as space is an issue.

You can use that leaded solder to lower the melting point and flow temperature of the silver solder. Just get some leaded solder balled up on the iron and work it into the existing silver solder, then remove with a solder sucker or braided solder remover. Repeat as required until you can get a good joint with just the mostly leaded solder.

There are different types of tip, so you need to match them up. The classic Weller thermostatic irons use the curie point of a magnet to control temperature; newer ones use, I think, a thermistor feeding back into pwm circuitry in the base. If you are using an older, no adjustment style base, then PT7 or PT8 series tips are likely what you need. Take your model numbers down before inquiring with Gateway to be sure you get the right kind.--The solder you have should be marked, if it's still on its spool. If it's unmarked and old, likely it's 60/40, which is suboptimal, but good enough.Have some emory paper and some 0000 steel wool for cleaning things, rosin flux, and (if you need to violate the rules in the name of expedience) some corrosive flux, plumbing type consisting of grease with zinc chloride, and you will make the joint adequately. Soldering success is only 10% equipment, 90% technique. Once you have any proper thermostatic iron, the rest of your attention should be on your methods.
