John,
I visited the Solder Collector's Association many times in the past years and everything I know and learned about solder was from
that website. Unfortunately 2 months ago the founding father of that very informative website, Samuel Kester died a
slow horrible death of lead poisoning when he was mixing a new formula of 65/35 solder that would have revolutionized
the way we would solder today and in the future.
The greatest gift I received from Samuel Kester was a autographed roll of Kester Solder 3 weeks before
his untimely death.
Unfortunately his estate decided to shutdown the website. I offered to host the website but the estate lawyer refused my generosity.
Regards,
Sal
Folks,
Perhaps you should join the Solder Collector's Association (SCA).
They have a really cool website: http://www.soldercollectorsassociation.com
You can also join their reflector:

Hi John,
It's good to hear there's still at least one good RS left!!! I wish it was
near my house! They deserve your support! It's just too bad the rest only
want to stock what they make the most money from and nothing more!!! They
care NOT about us - the customer! Only what sells!!!
The one near my house has mostly phones and batteries, with very few parts
and supplies.
That deal on line was good because the seller was willing to combine the
shipping which made it come out to $10 bucks a roll. A one time deal that we
probably won't see again, so I grabbed it!
Chuck P
