you can use any 60/40 rosin core solder like this http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F005%5F006%5F001%5F000&product%5Fid=64%2D009 or clear flux solder like this http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F005%5F006%5F001%5F000&product%5Fid=64%2D018 You might also want to pick up a desoldering braid http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&category%5Fname=CTLG%5F005%5F006%5F001%5F000&product%5Fid=64%2D2090

when i did my enigmah i used normal solder u can buy in most electronic stores buy ready fluxed if they have it as this makes it a bit easier for the solder to bind, the only stuff u should not use is plumbers solder as this stuff can ruin your tracks on the mainboard.theres a lot of talk about buying expensive solder paste etc but as long as u have a steady hand and follow the diagrams have a go
