All of my Knightkit and Heathkit assembly manuals in the 60s instructed the same thing: make sure the wire/parts joint is solid mechanically before soldering.

He said if it isn't a good mechanical connection, it won't be a good solder joint.. Those folks who built radios for the war understood that for sure!
