Once the wires have started to rot away the is no holding back the damage. It is NOT possible to solder the oxidised strands, that is why it is necessary to put in NEW wires. I hope you don't mind me saying flux paste is used in plumbing, I would not use it in electronic circuitry and/or a camera, although I must confess I was tempted to use it when soldering battery boxes of vintage K auto S 2s, another awful job after mercury battery leakage. I do remember a debate about the strange phenomenon of "black wire corrosion" a good while ago, in it someone said it was so called not because the black wires were affected by it, but because the copper strands inside turned black due to heavy corrosion. |
