I need to solder a new section of 14 gauge copper antenna wire to a
very old section of wire that is highly tarnished and very old. Other
than pulling each strand apart and attempting to sand off the tarnish
is there an easier way to remove it so that I can solder it
effectively?

I have some stranded antenna wire which has been very corroded and a
real pain to clean up.

I tried the vinegar and salt solution recently and it works just great,
each strand is clean and easily soldered.

I have not tried the coke idea but will try to remember next time we
have some coke around the house.
