[time-nuts] Wenzel Oscillator Repair

[Had]

Ed,

Here is something else to try after you've got as much solder as 
possible removed.

Place about 1/2" of the end oscillator can in a bench vise and apply 
light pressure from corner to corner, cross wise. Then reverse the 
can 180 degrees and do it again. Obviously you don't want to crush 
anything, just enough pressure to slightly torque the joints. I've 
had good luck with this method on many different sealed items.

Good Luck,

Hadley
