I hate callbacks. I would use lead-based solder on repairs.


Me too, made sure I'm well stocked up on lead-based solder.

There is no shortage of lead-based solder, nor is there likely to be in the
near future. There is still plenty of equipment in the market which is
produced by sectors that have an exemption for their product class, and
equipment produced and owned from before June 2006. In both of these cases,
it is acceptable - and indeed desirable - to use lead-based solder for
repairs, modifications and upgrades.
