Add to this that my eyes are not as
good as they were 20 years ago (even 5 years ago...) and that *all*
lead-free joints *look* bad with their dull crystalline surface, and I
would
have to agree that now, bad joints are likely to turn a job from a
one-coffee money spinner, to a pot-of-coffee frustrating money loser ...

What would happen if service technicians got together and agreed to refuse
to service equipment made with lead-free solder?
