    Good morning everyone.

    Back in the early 80s when I had my own repair shop fixing every piece of electronic gear you could possibly imagine many times I ran across a lot of bad soldering jobs especially cold solder joints. Most of the time it only took a good hot soldering iron and a good roll of resin solder to fix the problem with the gear I was working on.

    I went and looked around online this morning and found this website to use as an example and it's very very good and points out soldering mistakes and problems that newcomers make when they first attempt soldering their new gear or kit.

    I will post this website down below..... I feel that this link will tremendously help all of you understand how important it is to master good soldering habits when working on electronic gear and equipment especially tube amps that is so dear to us and is the subject of this forum.

    Have a good day everyone and I hope this link helps all of you in your endeavors and your task at mastering the art and good habits of soldering.

    Thanks for the information and link. The pictures help for showing what not to do and how it should look when it is correct.
