[NJARC] Repairing tinsel conductor headphone leads

[Nick Senker]

If soldering will mess things up you might consider using conductive adhesive which is available at auto parts stores for repairing rear window defroster  stripes.  Use the adhesive to connect tinsel to fine wire which can then be soldered.  Good Luck, Nick Senker
