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!

It’s always a great opportunity to learn, add an accomplishment, increase your self worth. It’ll sound much better if you do the job yourself!

If tight or tricky, not one to learn first: my local electronics parts store will make repairs. or, a computer repair shop. you may have a source close for this.

during deep covid, the repair dude worked from home, so I dropped a tricky job off, out, back in, pickup.

is it just a ground, not important signal path? there are conductive adhesives you could use for a semi-permanent fix, scrape it off and re-do later.
