Went to the basement and retrieved the empty spool (never throw things
like that out - always good for odds and ends of wire). It's 62/36/2,
with the 2% being silver. Radio Shack part number 64-035, and it's still
shown in the on-line catalog at $3.99 for a 1 oz spool. 1 oz of solder
lasts a long time. I do a fair bit of building and that's 6 months worth
or more for me.
There is also a larger diameter 62/36/2, think it is 0.022" PN 64-013,
on a 1.5 oz spool.
There's probably a better source for 62/36/2 solder than RS, but it's
decent stuff, unlike a lot of the things one finds there.

Jack,
Thanks for that info, sounds like good solder - I was looking on their
website and only saw the large diameter stuff listed even in the 2%
silver alloy.
Hurry to get some before it is gone - that is what close-out means,
they do not intend to carry it forever.

Radio Shack has some very nice 2% silver 33%/65% 0.015" solder on 1.5
ounce rolls. I picked a couple of rolls up on a close out and it's
very nice stuff to use.
