The wisdom is on point to point wiring that the joint should be physically good before soldering. The Tek wafer's hold the wire, component's etc in with solder only, but I figured Tek know what they were doing. BTW, I've heard that Tek used special solder with silver in it and that each scope came with a small reel of the stuff. But I've also heard this is rubbish. I'll use normal 40/60 and see how I get on.
Here's a rather patronising but interesting Tektronix video about how to use these strips - they state that they use silver-loaded solder - 60% Sn, 37% Pb & 3% Ag - and a 50W iron. There are many other similar videos in the VintageTEK Museum.
