The 3 dreaded rubber insulated dial lamp wires on the right side of the glass dial have to be replaced on this 41-280 chassis I'm working on. Always before, when I've had to replace dial lamp wiring, I just went to my "junque" box and grabbed one that I had salvaged from old chassis. But this chassis has the bulb socket clips that have to be oriented a certain direction to fit on the prong they rest on so they illuminate the dial glass properly. I have nothing in my "j" box that replaces them. All this means I have to remove the bulb socket from the old wire and install new wire directly to the bulb socket.

Can I assume it's a matter of heating the inside bulb contact in the socket so it melts the solder around the old wire and then sticking new solder in there and inserting the replacement wire while the solder is liquid?

Your experience/thoughts?

Thanks,
Art
