Hi Al,

Could you please order for me these knobs?

32-0270 15mm Knob 2 off

I'm also looking for some decent solder (I'm running short of my old lead/tin stuff and the Silver stuff I have from Maplin is a bit globby). Looking at Rapid's range I can't decide which would be best for me...they have a few types. Do you have any advice? Rosin free sounds good....so does silver/lead/tin alloy...argh! :cry:

No problem, Tony.

Others may know more about solder than me.
I use the Maplin silver solder in a tube dispenser, seems ok. Probably much better stuff out there.

Hi Al,

This is one I've found so far on Rapid:

85-6612 Lead Free "Rapid" brand £5.39 for 100g 22SWG

It's cheap enough to try and if it's no good then I'll know next time. There are some really expensive "eco" ones on there that will stop you getting lung and eye problems but they may be rubbish in use and it's a lot to splash out £30+ quid on a reel to find out.

If anyone has any more thoughts and advice then I'd be glad to hear it!

Cheers,
Tony
