Hi Gentlemen,
I have the two capacitors for the bottom matching coil on the Diamond X200a.
I have sanded and cleaned the old solder off the sleeve there that looks
like chromed brass.

I have tried a couple times so far to get the solder to stick to that brass.
I have tried some plumbing solder, some plumber's paste (acid flux) I
cleaned it, sanded it, filed it and it wont stick to that brass ring part at
the bottom. I tried 50/50 solder, rosin core, lead free, and another couple
types I am not sure their breakdown but they are electronic solder. Any
ideas or tips to try to get that solder to stick? I see it has a nylon
insert there of some sort. I am wondering if I am getting it hot enough, I
think I am, I am using a 250 watts gun solder type solder iron. Any ideas?
Thanks
