Hey Lew, you solder?

It's like this. Whenever I put the Grace in use, I get this nice-but-no-cigar reaction. Just recently, though, I decided to try again, and put the Grace on a spare SME III armtube.

Trouble is, (1) the pins on my Grace are the thin ones they used for a while, which necessitates squeezing the cart clips v-e-r-y c-a-r-e-f-u-l-l-y over a toothpick. And the clips themselves are real short ones, not exactly Cardas-quality, and they HAVE to be short because the space behind the cart on an SME III headshell is limited. Result, I broke off one of the cart clips trying to squeeze it. So before I can do anything more, I need to get that clip soldered back. And my soldering is pathetic.

I do have some alternatives to use in the meantime.
