82SC,
Last week, I also pulled the center wire out from the cap and it separated from its connector. I fixed it - and I'm a doofis - very easily. Here's how:
First, I fished the copper (brass, bronze, whatever) connector out of the cap (mine was stuck). Then, I stripped back about 1/16th inch of the insulation back from the wire so a new, clean piece of wire was exposed.
Next, I got my soldering iron and heated the tip of the connector. The tip is actually a ball of solder so when it turned to liquid, I pushed the wire through the bottom of it and let the solder cool. The wire is now firmly connected to the tip.
Finally, I cut off any excess wire that extended past the solder. Like new....
