It is not necessarily the same thing, but I have repaired wirewound rheostats (specifically, fuel-tank level senders from 1970s GMC Motorhomes) where the wirewound element connection was bad at the terminal end. I did this by scraping a loop/turn of the wirewound element near the end so it would accept solder, hooking a bit of copper wire through that turn, and soldering the wire from the scraped point to the terminal.
