[Hallicrafters] Off-subject / soldering

Brazing, or maybe industrial epoxy...but you need to clean it 
thouroughly first as there is oil on it.
Brake cleaner comes to mind...don't get it on the airframe.

Skip,

It isn't going to work.

Even aircraft cables have lubricant in them.  You can "try" a 10 ga 
butt
wire splice and crimp it to hold.  I don't have good feelings about it.

Nylon kite string *may* be able to tie one to the other and pull it 
that
way.

Best of luck!

I need to butt solder the new-to-old cable but am having trouble 
getting silver
solder to flow.  Does anyone have a suggestion.  Thanks.
