[Hallicrafters] Re: A SX-28//Solder

[Pat Barthelow]

Speaking of Solder, I went out yesterday, to buy a 1 lb spool from the local Halltek Store.  They last me a very long time, for at home use,  and I guess I seem to remember the price years ago, being about 8-10 dollers for 63-37 Eutectic, my preferred type.  The few remaining  1lb spools of leaded solder were $28.00(!!).  Is that the going price?  High due to the elimination of leaded solders killing the supply?   I would like to get some before it disappears but I walked out yesterday without the solder pending checking on typical street prices and availability of leaded solders.   Can any one recommend a supplier, or remaining stock of Kester or Ersin Multicore, leaded solder?

All the Best, 73,
