Philco IF Coil
#1

Hello, Been working on a Philco 60 that needed to have a grid cap wire replaced coming out of an IF can. I removed the coil assembly and cut the grid wire close to the staple that held it. Done this before on another 60. I was just going to solder the new wire on and go but when I went do that I could not get the original solder to melt even with a Weller 325 watt gun. Oh no now what? I did manage to scrap enough insulation off the wire and solder on the new wire. Whew! What was that original solder or wasn't it solder? 

What would you guys have done? Maybe just remove the grid cap clamp and put shrink tube over the wire and then solder that clamp back on (ugly)? The rest of my grid cap wires were replaced.
