quig from the new component

I just make a spiral quig from the extra length of wire on the new component. I just hold the lead against a miniature screwdriver and wrap it around 4 or 5 turns and cut the excess. I slip that over the stub of the old wire still soldered in place. Then I squeeze it on to the stub with a pliers for solid contact before soldering. Not the perfect cosmetic repair, but very good for matching original wire lengths and not disturbing settings.
