Not to mention we'd have to use lead-free solder today if we were

Why? I thought the lead free scam was only on plumbing.

Nope - it's invaded electronics too - Most computers, TVs etc in the
last 5 years are lead free - and a royal P.I.T.A. to repair because of
it

I'm glad I have my roll of Kestor five core solder. That
particular roll I bought back in the 70's and it always
works on anything electronic.

I've got a "loifetime supply" of about 8 500g rolls.
