Re: How much should one invest in tools to get in the hobby/occasional business?
May I suggest that the solder you use is as important as the soldering iron. If you intend to restore vintage radios, make sure you don't use leadfree solder, it simply won't mix with the lead-based solder that they will use.
I've tried leadfree solder on new projects, but couldn't get on with it (I'm sure it's fine on modern production lines), but it's not for me.
best regards ... Stef
