[Hallicrafters] Kwikettes

[Patrick A. Thompson Sr.]

That's basically what I do now except with very small needle nose pliers.

I've got a tool like you describe, but I think the ends are made of
aluminum. It might not hold up.

The "kwikettes" still sound like a neater solution. Something like a
butt-splice for number 26 wire.

Pat,
   Sounds like you are going thru some extra trouble. What I do is use the
slotted end of a soldering tool that has a point on the other end. It looks
similar to an alignment tool. I make a small hook on both ends of the wires
I'm
joining, put them together,   close the hooks up, and then solder it. It's
quick, simple, and looks good. It makes cap replacement really a breeze and
there
is no danger of messing up terminal strips and tube socket contacts by
overheating, wiggling, etc. It is also easy to unsolder if later needed. 73
