Don,
Thanks for the vote of confidence. I was treading on new ground for me and while I have soldering and jigging background, I had not done nor seen the process except for bits on video clips. But, past learned experiences and those bits took me thru it well. I'm now armed to buy a gun most would shy away from due to the cost of re-laying ribs and re-blueing.

I did buy some homogenized solder with rosin flux mixed in, but didn't find the need for it. In some of Oscar Gaddy's notes or correspondence, he suggested the use of such. I found it fairly expensive and not necessary.
