[Boatanchors] SOLDER

[rbethman]

I still use the "silver brite" for all outside antenna and ground 
connections.

I agree, it is completely different from "silver brazing".  I use that 
method for special uses, such as securing brass to steel to make the 
brass act as a bushing in lieu of steel to steel contact.

The "silver bearing" stuff was always inside the "old" Tektronix tube 
type scopes on a little spool.  It was used specifically for their purposes.

I have several 1 pound rolls of the Kester 60/40 for electronic use.
