Luck is probably on that chassis' side then. It is likely going to be necessary to have a schematic for it to verify winding connection points. It is always a sweat inducing process soldering tiny wires like that....First time I tried I was like 14-16 and was working with a 1/16" stub protruding from a H osc coil on a GE portable. I was having a hell of a time getting it to stick....Then mom interrupted me at the wrong time and caused me to accidentally rip out the lead I had.....Boy was I livid after she did that. My hands are steadier now, and I've gotten better at soldering.

YEAH. That'll be your baby... My hands are not steady enough anymore. Wrenched on cars too long, I don't have the best fine motor skills anymore.
