Hmmm, but isn't that receiver from the late 80's, early 90's?

Not sure the "lead free solder" problems would apply.

Certainly. Horrible thing. Only good for use as a door-stop. Hell, I
doubt you can find a TV, Blu Ray or DVD to connect it to anymore.
Composite only. Absolute POS. If I recall correctly, it has no removable
base-plate, making service a very lengthy and certainly non-viable
option. Why anyone would contemplate repairing one of these things is
beyond me. It was not even a high end model with decent audio output
stages.


Pb free solder is 100% guaranteed.

**Nah. I doubt it. Too old.


But it ain't all that bad.

IME, most Pb free stuff is far from impossible to deal with.

A bit of 60/40 on top of any dodgy looking joint works wonders ..

**Sure does. Luckily, proper solder is still easy enough to buy.
