Silver solder with tin-lead just fine but if oxidized badly it won't take the solder.
You can also buy a trimmer cap and solder it in place.
Or use a patch of copper foil and such, conductive paint possibly.

If trying to solder be careful not to take the remnants of the silver off, or this will be it for this trimmer.
