[Heathkit] Nichrome wire

[jeremy-ca]

It is fairly easy to solder nichrome. Use plumbers liquid flux which is 
actually a diluted hydrochloric acid. Muriatic acid may also work which is 
also a diluted form of hydrochloric. Crimp a lug on to add strength.

Be sure to use a solder with a melting point well below the expected 
temperature when in use. "REAL"  silver solder works well.
