That's the way I did it in the late 60's, but only used the thing a
few times in a month, ususlly on solder tag terminals. It was a
what Bob Unruh taught in shops class at the local high school.

The Weller replacements are plated copper. Nothing special and not rocket science. The copper wire option will simply not last quite as long as an original as the plating resists damage from the flux, and does not anneal as easily (become soft). But if one is not pounding the tip on the workpiece, that should not be of any issue.
 
Further, if one wishes to be 'elegant', use a hammer to dap the wire lightly to a flattened shape at the tip fold. Even a file to make a point.

I have the same problem on a C 430. I'll be playing either quiet or loud and then a hear A rumbling noise that kind of trails off for a bit and then comes back. Did you ever find out what the root cause was?

There's an important clue in the text:
"It goes away when you plug headphones"
 
My guess(tm) is it's some form of microphonics. That's where the
speakers cause some electribuc component to vibrate, which then causes
audible noises in the speakers. If the gain and phase of the
amplifier is correct, it will produce low frequency feedback, which is
the rumbling noise you hear. If the noise was a high pitched squeal,
then it would be high frequency feedback.
 
In your case, you have a "C 430". That might be a Yamaha NX-C430
speaker system. The system does not have any built in amplifier(s),
so there's nothing wrong with the speakers. I suggest you remove your
speakers from the amplifier or receiver case, and the microphonics
will likely be reduced or stop.
 
Incidentally, you're only 19 years too late to catch the original
posters.

I have a Meyer Sound 833 control unit on my bench. It has a weird fault
that appears to centre around a 15kHz oscillation that affects one
channel, directly, but is bleeding through to the other channel.
 
Meyer Sound refuses to supply a schematic. They will repair it for a set
charge of US$592.50 (nice round figure). That's a bitter pill to
swallow, but it gets worse. I (and my customer) are here in Australia
and I figure on the freight charges to blow that figure out to around
US$1,000.00 or so.
 
I am hopeful that someone has some experience with this product. Maybe
even schematics.
 
TIA
