is this AU solder any good?
No it would not. This solder has no flux in it. It is plumbing not electronics solder. Take a look at the 268 line it is Tin/Silver/Copper and has the 3% silver

This is what I used to work on a bunch of the type 100 gear seems to work well. You will also need a powerful iron the ceramic strips can soak a surprising amount of heat. Zen -----Original Message-----

I almost forgot the Vintage Tek museum has a Tek training video posted about ceramic strip soldering. It can be found here

This is the stuff I used on my devices ceramic strips.... I believe it meets requirements... Advertising copy is crap (particularly on parts-express's website) but the specifications seemed to be reasonable... David On Tue, Dec 7, 2021 at 11:11 AM <Zentronics42@...> wrote:

You can also find Tin/Lead/Silver solder, Radio Shack used to sell it and Kester still makes it.

I would not use anything less than 2% Silver, higher is OK. Get a flux core specifically made for electronic work. You can find lots of vendors on ebay selling you enough to repair a couple scopes for $5. Paul On Tue, Dec 07, 2021 at 11:08:32AM -0500, Zentronics42@... wrote:
