I know there are exemptions for aerospace but that's mainly due to the lack of years of experience with the newer materials. The aerospace industry has been very busy figuring out if and how a switch to lead free will impact them for years now. It recognises the "leaded" supply chain is drying up. Leadfree may put "people and safety" at risk although I'm not quite sure those are actually different things.

0culus:
Aerospace tends to move at a glacial pace on all things. Proven designs and materials only for production stuff.

I got this at a local market for a song ($82 "Texan pesos"). Despite the two scuffs at the front, it is pretty unblemished everywhere else, including its internals.

I really couldn't believe my luck, really. Also, it is spot on against the DMM Checkplus.

(edit) rotated the image.

bitseeker:
That's a nice score alright. :-+

I agree with that. Always get high quality lead-free solder from a reputable brand. I'd like to add that lead free solder seems to have a much narrower temperature range over which it leads to good results so the temperature of the soldering iron is much more critical.

No, not any more. The blanket medical exemption ended 5 years ago, and the scope of the remaining exemption has continued to narrow since: https://www.tuvsud.com/en/industries/healthcare-and-medical-devices/medical-devices-and-ivd/restricted-hazardous-substances
