Default lead free solder

OK, just for your own use, you can do repairs with PbSn solder on assemblies
made originally with Pb free. I do this all the time, never had a problem.

You can also, in most cases, do repairs on gear that was made with PbSn
solder using SAC305. This does require higher temperatures, but when hand
soldering one lead at a time, usually there's no harm.
