Re: [vintagesynthrepair] Lead-free solder `~~`

Well, you can't use Pb-Free solder where lead was used before, and 
shouldn't use lead on stuff using lead free solder. New Pb-Free 
components with lead aren't a problem tho.

Soldering with lead-free solder requires higher temps to make good joints.
