[QUOTE="stuboy, post: 536970, member: 33489"] Don't listen to who ever told you that its pure rubbish. For repairing items leaded solder has a much better wetting ability so makes a firmer joint on second hand stuff. New shinny surfaces with modern flow solder are now better than the old leaded solder. I did a test for the company i used to work for many moons ago when the first unleaded solder emerged. It was truly useless, it has however come a long way since then ;-) Been sniffin it for over 40 years, and it hasn't affecccttiiiiiiiddd me :-) Cheers Stu [/QUOTE]
