I was going to say Hakko 888 also.  Wellers used to be good quality but it appears when they were bought out a few years back they quit making the tips in the US and outsourced them so they have dropped in quality.

I spent a little more for the Hakko 951

You won't need lead free solder for Amiga stuff. And it doesn't work well mixed so if your going to do lead free you need to buy the solder and a second set of tips and cleaner to go with it.  don't make that investment up front, wait until you have something leadfree to work on.
