I guess, I got lucky and bought three rolls of 60/40 of Ersin Multicore solder at a garage sale.
They wanted $10 a roll for it, plus $7 for a partially used roll of Alpha 60/40.
I had to give $25, for the lot, but I felt it was an OK deal. It is my favorite diameter, about 16AWG.
For the P/C board and small work, I have a roll of Kester 20 ga. from a swap meet.
