Soldering Help

Hello,

I am going to try soldering a connection in my preamp. I don't have any equipment to do this. I am looking for advice on materials.

I did read that I want to avoid solder with lead in it.

What soldering tool, solder, etc would people recommend?

Thank you!

Thanks Rodman, I live on the East Coast, though. I was not sure where to post it, and then as I hit post, I realized, there is probably a thread on this already. I do know the supply and brands change with time though.

I am understanding some of the nuances better from your points. My project does not involve a board. I bought a handmade tube preamp. It is an incredible upgrade for sonically on many levels. We have been using it without the gain disable switch on. When I flip the gain disable switch, music only comes from one channel. It is basically one wire to wire connection that needs to be soldered. I might know a guy down in Greenfield, Mass who repaired my son's guitar amp a while back. I could give him a call and see. It is just the is question of the time and cost for someone else to do it compared to buying some equipment and trying to learn something new myself.
