Repair tip from Radio Retailer April, 1937
#4

It makes for pretty clunky repairs, something that better solder removal techniques can avoid altogether. The real fix and flip types love "J' hooking new parts in, sometimes they don't even bother with the hook part, just tack soldering, that way they don't have to spend money on extra wire. I don't do repairs anymore, I do full electrical overhauls, 80 years on no paper capacitor can be trusted, and neither can the original solder joints or many of the resistors, even more so if the set is full of rubber/gutta percha covered wire.
