KB, I'm curious, if this is the case, then what alloy can they get? Maybe we've gone through a time warp and the year is 2025. Darn, if that's the case I should be long retired by now but I'm still working. I'm having a hard time believing this one. Should be interesting.

We've used it for a million years and I can't believe that the industry is no longer going to make SN63 as a common solder. Maybe I've been living under a rock up here in the Great Northwest but is anyone else seeing this as an issue?
