Default Re: Condenser Restoration

One would think heat would be detrimental to the condenser. But yet, it appears during the original assembly a copper strap was soldered from the top of the innards to the output screw terminal (can be seen in the video)

Thoughts: What do you think, if I pre-tinned the outside bottom of the condenser and inside the bottom of the original housing, assembled it and once again applied heat to the bottom to join them? Am I pushing my luck or is it worth a try?

Note: If there was an unlimited budget and parts were plentiful, I would make several and report back the findings. At this point, I can make two. It would be nice if they both worked. Any other comments for improvement on the entire process would be appreciated.
