A trick I have not tried is to press the tiny wire against an aspirin  
tablet with the solder iron, this gets the insulation off it without  
any teensy knife work.  Then solder as others have suggested:

Fastening a larger wire (stranded perhaps) firmly nearby can take the  
wiggle off the teensy one and prevent more breakage.

If you can find the right size wire, it might work well to strip out  
the old wire (count the turns if possible!) and rewind the coils.   
Modern insulation/coatings are better than they used back then.
