Probably nichrome wire.  Tough to solder.  I suggest conductive glue.

Hi All

One of the wire wound pots for filament control on my TBW-4 has a break in the wire.

I cleaned the break and added a parallel wire and attempted to solder the two.

The solder will not stick to the wire on the pot.   I tried different iron temperatures etc but to no avail.

Any ideas as  to alternate ways to fix this?   Photos attached.
