Nice lookin solder joints there. Looks like you know how to solder. So many people think they do and create all sorts of problems with pits, cold solder joints, etc.....

Many years ago I took NASA's MilSpec soldering course. AT&T sent me. They are so picky it's amazing. Every joint is inspected microscopically. Even the pico farad capacitance of a tiny pit can mess with their systems. Can't take a chance in space.

Soldering takes practice, a class like that NASA one would sure come in handy. I learned from banjo player friend of mine that went to ITT. Heat your joints before you solder, and don't use to much. My first soldering job looked like a 4oz split shot sinker.
