[R-390] Filter Wire

[David Wise]

Since you now have nothing to lose, you might as well try other, less-likely repairs.  Squeeze as much learning out of it as you can.

I think it's a lost cause.  Everytime I try it, it gets shorter and more
brittle.  This last time it even crinkled up.  It was a valiant effort
though and I think the method is about as good as one could come up with,
given what I have to work with.

We learn more from our failures than we do our successes. You put forth a
good effort to make it work and it just did not. It tells us that the
probability of success in reattaching that little wire is pretty low once
it is broken off. Even if you had managed to make an attachment I would be
wondering how much the temper of that wire would of been affected by heat
and its ability to transfer mechanical force to the resonator disks.

Thanks for giving it a try,
