Hi All!----Regarding my method for 259 soldering using small torch --first I
gently scrape braid and connector (around holes) with a razor----then when
assembly is ready to solder I heat connector just a little around hole and
then I "go for it" by applying THIN regular solder while applying flame at
same time. (guess u just have to practice a little--seems to work for me and
results are nice and shiny and ,I  believe, effective. Solder is just regular
stuff----never heard of eutectic before my subscription to roundtable
hihi-----tnx everyone for all the great info and "entertainment" hihihi
