- This 1980 video covers the basics of solder composition and the correct way to solder. This film was likely used for internal training as well as farm-out operations that Tektronix utilized in this timeframe.
Great video. Funny story, I have a 465 where they straight up forgot to solder the power switch. The wires were installed into the lugs, but just never got soldered. It still worked all these years, though. edit: I misremembered. It was the jumper on the Line Voltage Select switch.
Loved this video from the Tektronix archive. Don't think I've seen a better soldering tutorial.
I like the rotary sponge setup - never seen that before!
Thanks for this awesome video!!!
Wow. Very informative!
Back in 1982, I don't think the Heathkit - Learn To Solder course I followed covered the characteristics of tin and lead as well as this does.
Tektronix used to be a hell of a good company...
Fascinating look into the past. But I had to laugh at the very last solder in this video - they applied solder across three pads, shorting them out.
RUclipsstyle long before youtube - but for a very few ones and probably a high price for "today" in a horrible technical (very low resolution, quite unsharp, washout colors,...) "VHS" like Quality.
This how it was before RUclips - expensive, bad technical quality, hard to get and only produces (camera equipment, "monitors", storge media, editing tools where extrem expensive and simply big) by professionals - Think about it when "you" talk about the "good old times" and how bad youtube is...
I will never, EVER use lead free solder. Even when it was lead free at work, I would suck the solder off and reflow with tin/lead solder so that I would just get things done. I have enough rolls of tine/lead eutectic solder that I shall NEVER deal with that nonsense lead free solder ever again.
may i ask why you dislike lead-free so much? I used to equip our workstations with both 63/37 and SCN M1, but I noticed people were mixing their applications which wasn't the intent. In reality all of the PCBs we buy are lead-free and have been for years, so I removed the leaded stuff so people just had to learn how to properly use SCN. In my experience, the main difference is operating your tools at about 50F hotter, which shouldn't be a problem if you're using quality tools.
@@CandyHam Using lead-free when working with new components, boards, etc. always works fine. The issue I've always run into is when doing repairs. It can be really hard to get old solder out of a through hole or just getting new lead free solder to mix with an old joint. Applying leaded solder to an old, oxidized joint lowers the temperature and mixes with that old solder to really help make it flow and ensures I can suck all the solder out of the hole or get a pad cleaned up nicely. So when I manufacture PCB's or I make boards at home, lead-free is fine. But I always use leaded solder for any repair work. Try removing a 40-pin DIP processor from the 1980's or 90's and you'll see that leaded solder really helps.
