Vintage Synth Repair

Hello Keith:I've been an organ repairman for over 30 years and worked 
for a Rodgers dealer for about 5 years and I would suggest using the 
garbage that radio shack sells,the manufacturer uses nothing better 
than 60/40 rosin core solder and anything else would be 
overkill,Manufacturers don't use silver solder,they try to get the 
product out the door and let the repair techs worry about it after 
that,I work on Allens,Rodgers,Galanti,Johannus,Viscount,and many 
more,I've never had a recall for a repair because of a faulty solder 
connection and the circuits in your trio are not that sensitive to 
need better solder.you need to worry more about the capacitors in 
your older organ drying out and going bad,this is what I see 
happening in a lot of organs of the era of yours.
Regards,
Tim k.

an electronic solder formulation that was a better grade/alloy than 
the typical "Radio Shack" garbage. Can anyone remember what it is and 
the electronic "e-tailer" it could be had from?
