[BC] Irons for silver soldering copper strap

[Dana Puopolo]

If he was soldering indoors, he probably was using tin/lead alloy, which melts
at a much lower temperature.

Those are probably the ones.  The last time I did strap, I used propane.
Back in the day, I remember seeing my friend using a very large Iron.  It
had a wood handle, and a very large tip.  It was a beast, and got very hot.
He outfitted the entire station with this thing.  The station had the AM
transmitter in the back room, and copper everywhere.  Collins tube
consoles......Chinese tubes.....DAP processor...MX1...
