Question on Model 87
#4

There is a tip that I've heard of but haven't tried. The theory is that the nichrome wire oxidizes at point of contact on the solder lug. Chip away a small amount of the enamel to gain access the oxidized area. Clean up the connection. Not sure how you reconnect nichome wire short of crimping or spot welding. Use a bit of JB weld to replace the missing enamel and color to match.

About the same time the 87 came out the National Company out of Mass produce a receiver called a SW-3 which a similar problem. Have serviced several of them have used Ohmite Divide ohm resistors. They have a side that the nichrome is exposed and slider that can be adjusted from from one end to the other. If more taps are needed add more sliders.

I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.

Now I think I've got!
