Yep, that's it on the strap, so some sort of capacitance for whatever reason, mine is attached the same way. Received the 36G wire and immediately saw it was really thin, so remeasured the original osc. wire against my 30G and looking at AWG tables. I was pinching too hard on the caliper , it is 32g. I used 30g which is around the 75% one vs. the other of what I thought - .008 vs. .0100 inch. If I use 36G, will have to compensate to get the correct inductance, might be difficult. If I go against the original form holes, will end up with many more wraps, so would have to back off and scrape and measure to know when to quit. Still thinking what to do, use it or not.
