Jim,
You ever hear of the “tin whisker” problem in GE front ends and in outer space? Multiply that several times and that’s what you get with the new solder.

Is it better or is there another government mandate in the works? I've been using 60/40 solder for over 50 years now. Not aware of any health probems associated with lead solder. I noticed one of the radio manufactures advertised a radio built with no-lead solder.
