A customer said my solder joints looked 'cold and grainy' on a vintage radio repair, and now I always check with a loupe before calling it done.

That customer had a point though. A grainy joint can crack over time, especially with old parts that get hot and cool down a lot. It's worth the extra minute to be sure.

Seems a bit over the top for a vintage radio. Most of those old joints weren't perfect to begin with, and it still works if it's electrically sound. A loupe is good practice, but maybe not a total deal-breaker.
