I have soldered u/c wires over many years, so maybe these tips may help? Bind the legs with 15amp fusewire. Always hold the iron (mine's either 60w or 90w) touching the bottom of the joint (as heat rises) and feed in the solder from the top and sides...the bottom takes care of itself! Use either acid cored solder or Bakers Fluid to flux the joints. Use cellulose thinners to clear away the flux residue from the wires. I hope these tips help you as much as they've helped me!
Great job.
Nicely done Mark 👍🏻
Thanks 👍 looking forward to that Friday feeling
Mark great gear build you make it look like baking a cake 🎂 Jeff in LA USA
Keep it clean apply the heat simple.
I'm glad I'm not the only one with attic planes.

Hi Mark, your vids were recommended to me by Cliff Harvey. This is a superb video. Thank you!
Awesome, thank you!

Certainly are thanks for the tip regarding heating from the bottom especially.
Hi Mark, my father has an old soldering iron I'll use next time. Nice film as always 🙂
Thanks
Always better with the iron under the work piece I find😊
Good point
Soldering iron last seen at the marconi factory @ 1932!
😂
I use a micro torch for this type of soldering.
Should work well just watch the heat 🔥
Oh it works. Very quickly! LOL!
