I think Weller quit making it in the late 60's. All the Weller guns I have now, came from garage and estate sales. I won't buy the newer ones with the set screws.
My D440 has a few cracks in it but makes a great degausser in a pinch.
I got a near perfect 8200 for $10, tried to keep a poker face as I dug out a note
