Reply To: Cold Solder Joint – Cyl 1 Coil

[frankr]

I believe the term “cold solder joint” refers to a poor soldering operation familiar to electronic techs to mean not enough heat was used to provide proper flow of the molten solder, OR the joint was disturbed before the solder cooled.

John, I’d suggest simply re-soldering it properly.  Not much to lose.

I’ve wondered how the internal connection was made between the button and hair-thin coil wire, but don’t know the answer.
