[Boatanchors] Solder

[Richard Knoppow]

     That's the stuff, I had completely forgotten the name.  I also had 
some low temperature solder, I am pretty sure with silver in it for 
replacing the sampling diodes in the 8405A Vector Voltmeter.  We were 
sending these back to Palo Alto but I talked to one of the engineers and 
got instructions on how to replace them  It was very simple if you were 
careful but required the special solder.
