Chris,
Alternative #3: Just have the cast iron pot replaced. It might be almost as
expensive as buying a whole new unit, but might not be as well. The only
hang out here is the leaded solder inside the other parts of the machine.
How do you get THAT out?
Anyone else try this?

Thank you all.
So should I do one of the following:
- Replace the solder pot altogether (the safest method, but most expensive)
- Clean the existing cast iron pot as best possible then fill with Pb Free
solder (higher risk, but less expensive)
If anyone has cleaned their existing cast iron solder pot, then how did you
do it exactly? Is there a proposed method for doing this somewhere out
there?
Any suggestions would be very helpful.

Hi Chris,
Pb left in the old 'pot' may not be your biggest problem--look at
these pics.
