[Hallicrafters] Kwikettes

[David Hallam]

I was rummaging around in a box of old odds and ends I bought at a recent
hamfest and found a package of Kwikettes.  They are the neatest thing since
sliced bread.  They were made by Sprague and are a small coil of Copperweld
wire coated with flux and solder.  If you want to replace a component, you
just cut out the old component leaving a little bit of the old lead, slip
the Kwikette on the end, put the end of the new component's lead in the
coil, and solder.

Does anyone know if they are still available?  Probably not, there is no
commercial business in replacing components these days.
