[Hallicrafters] Silver plated solid copper #14 wire

[ss409ss at aol.com]

  Believe it or not, you need at least 5 percent for dissimilar metals. I tried everything to mate copper to steel and Staybrite did the trick. 4 percent may work but this stuff is the bomb and will work right the first time.

 Only problem, its 62 dollars a roll around these parts...!!! Richy

   I use a solder for mating dissimilar metals called Staybrite #8, it

contains silver (about 5-6 percent) and will mate most metals together.

Expensive, but worth a try. You can usually bother any HVAC guy for a small

piece to try out. If not, I will send you some.
