[R-390] FW: Ping Tests and Solder

[Ed Tanton]

Be careful Barry. A lot of the crap solder today is lead-free and isn't ½ as
good as what you are replacing. As for silver, the only reason Tek used it
was because they had a bunch of ceramic terminal strips that were
silver-bearing. NOT using solder with a little silver in it tended to leach
what silver there was in the terminal-strip-terminal/solder joint.
