[Boatanchors] HRO-60 repairs

[WA5CAB at cs.com]

I used the same method while repairing a BC-611-F IF transformer last week. 
 Coils are wound with Litz wire.  I wound a short Quig onto the end of #30 
AWG tinned copper extension lead, stuck the other end of the extension 
through the rivet hole going to the external terminal, slid the Quig over the 
pre-tinned end of the Litz wire, and flowed solder into the Quig..  Then 
attached the extension to the terminal.
