Default What's the story on solder these days?
Lead free solder is impossible as solder is an alloy of lead and tin.
Anything else would not be solder!

What kind of solder should one use these days?

Find out whether the components are RoHS compliant.
If they aren't, your old solder will do.
If they are, you'll need lead-free solder.
