    You got me looking for leaded solder wire (plenty on ebay) , one thing I learnt is that lead free solder has a fairly short shelf life as it absorbs oxygen from the atmosphere, certainly not good for electronics, it also has a lower melting point. I am not into electronics but I have had some problems soldering wiring with my old lead free stuff.
    BTW congrats on your TOTW award surprised you did not get that from your original lathe conversion.
