Bill-
We have all done it before. If the lead from the tube is full length- that is it will stick through the hole in the metal cap- just resolder it and glue it back on with super glue. You may want to scrape the lead and tin it with solder first.

If the remaining lead on the tube is short, you will have to scrape it carefully with an Xacto knife, and wrap it with some fine buss wire, and solder it. Before you feed this fine wire through the grid cap hole, leave an extra length inside the cap so that your wire doesn't come unsoldered from the tube lead when you do the final cap joint.

Renovated Radios do carry what you need. As for the voltage, a wire should be at least 300V-rated.morzh — 11:13 PM
