Hi, I think that is what they are called. Metal cap at top of a tube connected to the grid . I am starting to recap a farm set 41-95 .As I tried to remove the wire carefully from the top of the tube the metal cap came off. So there is a small wire sticking out of the tube on top .
I suspect the seal to the tube is ok. And I can only think this wire needs to be soldered back on. Has anyone had to do this before ? Is there a tip or certain method to use .The cap has a cork like plug in its base that rest against the tube.Then way up at the top of the cap it was soldered .I do not think I can pull that type of solder job off. I know I can't . I was going to half fill the cap with solder heat then stick the tube (upside down ) into the cap . Don't want to learn from experience (mine) if possible.So I would appreciate any info or help on this .
Thanks !

Bill T
