If you have broken off copper strips on your circuit board, you can do this.




It Is kind of redneck but it works. Just loop a wire around the terminal of whatever guage, and them into the pigtail.

Helpful tip ! Beats buying a replacement circuit. I've also had luck soldering wire to bridge broken copper runs.

Back to the game...

I've also done both. Whatever gets you down the road again. Parts aren't easy to find for these anymore. Good tip!
