^Tony,
These ones were loaded by Atom with lead, so they are actually in new/original condition. In additon to removing the wire I would need replacement wires as the tail loop needs to be cut off so the wire will pull out.

Well There's guys up there who can hook u up..
I would straighten out the tail end to heat it up. U'll have to heat both ends.
Be patient,Let the heated wire do it's thing.Twist it back an forth lightly.This will break the bond to the plastic.U don't want to break the wire.then ur done.
Why bother, contract out someone who can make u one to match it..Have Numbskull exray it.
Ur just gonna thro eels anyways..I'd do it for ya but u guys didn't invite me to play so no..  |

U know, I'm a slow thinker..The wire runs in a little channel that is actually inside the plug itself.Not to worry about water seepage.If no one up there can help ya out send it to me.I can breaK the wire off as good as anyone.

Also some one will chime in about hooking it up to a car battery.
I read it in Lyman's book also.I would not recommend it..

If you use a car battery you'd better have about 1/4 mile of wire on it. I've seen batterys explode. Acid everywhere. It'll Eff you up good. Remember Ray Charles? Only without the music....

**I am not an electrician**
If you use a power source (battery, whatever) use some kind of resistance so you don't create a direct short. They have resistors that would work, but I imagine a light bulb would as well. Just try not to electricute yourself.

I have done this one before on some old plastic 40's. Also had a wooden scud needle that needed new wire. The lead is poured right over the through wire, so I needed to melt the lead to get it out. It caught on fire for a moment, but I had planned on it and had a bucket of water nearby. I still laugh when I think of the face on my girlfriend as she stood by, yelling at me the whole time.  |

I've actualy used that method to free bolts on parts that were frozen on outdrives....
These bolts were in a place where using a torch wasnt an option, a quick short circuit applied to the bolt head provided enough heat to expand the bolt enough to crush the corrosion between the SS bolt and the Aluminum surface...Once the bolt cooled, removeing the bolt was an easy task... no broken bolts .
In this case, I'd try a 6 Volt dry cell... no danger of explosions, and I'm sure it would generate enough heat to do the job... |
