    For rework on this old stuff -- Standard Rosin core, 63-37 solder. Kester 24-6337-0027 or equivalent.
    Don't go cheap with some Chinese or Mexican garbage, stick with Kester and you can't go wrong.
    I have some Mexican stuff here somewhere... smells like a little kids shitty pants every time I use the stuff.

    Lots of diameters to pick from. From tiny 0.015 (and smaller) to large 0.062. Good, generic size is either 0.025 or 0.31". 0.031" is most common.

    If buying from Kimco - get some flux for removing old stuff -- such as this:
