Relatively safe, actually. Even ingestion of metallic form mercury is not that big a deal. Now touch any of many if not all mercuric compounds and you can get cancer and die within a couple/few months.

Cilantro dental odor is more than a little foul. Mixed with cigarette odor and you almost puke.

Riding the bus in North San Diego County is a nightmare when it is full of Mexican illegals on their way "home" from working the local farms.

Nauseating even. The odor, and the fact that "home" is here.

Milk differs a lot from region to region. Ohio milk tastes great, and SoCal milk doesn't. After ten years though, I like it, and have yet to go "back to Ohio" to find my city gone, and milk tasing "funny" on the rebound.

--- No, it doesn't.

Some fluxes often called "acid fluxes" contain zinc chloride, but it can't be used for electrical work because it's corrosive.

I think this guy manufactures illicit human inebriants. :-]

Bwuahahahahaha... how do you know you didn't make them that way with a mutated gene in your "wad"? Tee Hee Hee.

From the neck up? :-]

Not mil devices. They cost more, and mil device makers still make 'em!

Not necessarily true. It will, however, make our mil devices even more costly despite their COM being the same or even less.

It will also likely mean higher contract manufacturing costs as well.

Conversion will cost them a lot, so retaining the old methodology will get those costs passed to those that get the lesser used technology.

Very sad.

I must say, I *rarely* work on the exterior of a 50 year old guitar amp... mostly, I'd be inside it.

What is that yellow fuzz growing on the speaker nuts of my '61 Gibson Falcon? Tasted funny, anyway... I hear Hammond organs are plagued by 'cadmium fingers'... you have to zap them when they short out key contacts. __ Steve .

Man have I woofed up volumes of "solder smoke" over the 25+ years on the bench. I used to love walking into the shop on a cold clear morning and waft in the mixture of rosin, pipe, and cigar smoke floating through the air. There is nothing wrong with me these days, just ask my son, either head will tell you so.

I worked at Baldwin, you retarded f*ck. Fuck Hammond.

Your name should be cower.

So far the only music you have introduced into our group is flatulence.

You're just pissed because you suffer from foot in mouth disease, and need to flail your arms like a little dipshit.

Here... I'll clear it up for you...

That shit you have from GC HAS Zinc Chloride in it. That in no way means that rosin flux has Zinc Chloride in it.

Just like John said, that SHIT is an acid flux, NOT rosin flux, and regardless of what GC printed on the can, it is NOT meant for electronics use.

So take your clueless ass back to your geetar group where you belong.

You pathetic, cringing little milksop.

I didn't think so... I used to have a Baldwin, once... left it at the dump, no usable stuff inside. I suppose you're the one that invented those silicon contacts? The ones that are unobtainable, and render the unit unrepairable (thank god, anyway!). __ Steve .

Let's see... google Hammond and get some lame electronic parts place.

Google Baldwin, and get...

WHAT'S THIS?! A PIANO AND ORGAN COMPANY!

Imagine that. The dipshit clings to outdated CRAP like acid flux (NOT ROSIN), which is not even meant for electronics, and Organs which no longer have a maker.

You could be a bit more clueless, but not in this life.

Switching to platinum contacts would ALSO involve new, NON Cadmium "fingers", dipshit.

Pretty simple shit, but I don't expect an meth addled doper to be able to grasp the process. Hell, you don't even know how to make a sig work properly.

Typical... No argument so the stupid f*ck bails out, just like he did when busted on his contention that rosin flux contains Zinc Chloride.

Good going, mental midget.

If i remember correctly, selenium is a poison also, and presumedly it makes your sweat smell like a stinky skunk.

I'm curious. Which parts have they changed and how do they make them

IMHO, lead based solder will always be available for repairing older equipment.
