[Hammarlund] Soldering Fine Gauge Wire

[Albert Solway]

To All,

Some time ago there was a request on how to remove the the insulation on
fine gauge wire as used in IF Transformers.   One of the responses was
to use an aspirin to remove the insulation. My question is, what is the
procedure. Any other  techniques would also be appreciated.

The wire from L52, part of  T1 in my SP-600, was broken. The remaining
useable length is about 0.5 inch to short to reach the terminal it goes
to. A splice is needed. I tried solder with only a flux and the iron
without success. The insulation is a high temp type and will not melt
with the soldering iron. The broken wire was most likely the original
fault in the SP-600. I found it by accident while replacing the BBODs.

Thanks and have a good day.
