DIY people can still get ordinary SnPb solder by the kilo. Here's a bar that contains 500g of pure lead: http://media.digikey.com/Photos/Kester%20Photos/04-6337-0050.JPG http://media.digikey.com/Photos/Kester%20Photos/04-6337-0050... It's only $44, shipped! It's enough lead to measurably lower the IQ of ten million infants.
