No solder, solder is junk. Clean copper, crimped ferrule ends, then put into the screw connectors.


Or, get rid of the screw connector and use something modern to connect the wires.
LOL.
To paraphrase a Porsche engineer who spoke at a PCA event back in the 60s, “If Porsche had vanted dees ‘ferules’ on zee cars, Porsche vould haf put ferules on zee cars.”
