[sdiy] Component leads

[patchell]

    Most leads I have seen appear to be just tin tinplated, however, I
would, just for the sake of being a worry wart, that they use tin-lead to
plate the leads....

    Hey, I just noticed something.....lead leads....talk about a confusing
mixture of words and pronunciations....
