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.

Me too, the amalgamate talk makes me wonder though.

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.
