my gauge wasn't working so I pulled the send out and this is what it looked like
[Image: 3F5B75F1-5F42-459F-BEC3-9C438DAC9D21_zpsemugkn7n.jpg]

all 3 of the wires were broken off. is there any way to repair this or do I need to get a new one? ive seen lots of threads on cleaning and replacing but not this kind of repair, if anyone has any references please let me know.

Thanks.

P.S. if its not fixable, id like one shipped to 95370

Could you "solder" the E string from a guitar? Never tried it but why not?

proabaly better off getting a strand of bare copper wire and soldering that in. Im pretty sure when i took mine off all of these were soldered in.

its an easy job, Not like soldering surface mount chips

I redid all the solder and it still doesn't work. I think the little resistive wires got stretched.

if you can find out what material their made out of they can probably be replaced.

Or you can always buy a new one but i heard they're expensive.

It's a special resistive wire. Looks like I'm going to pick n pull!

looks like you can buy it, but its probably easier to pull a good used unit.
