"Rigger Compliments' explained... 120-130

A "Rigger" is someone who you want to be shipwrecked with (like the professor character on the old Gilligan's Island show, who could make ANYTHING of bamboo, except get them off the island!)...someone who uses smarts, abilities, and experience to make it work with resources on hand, or one who develops a creative solution using alternative thinking and available materials...anyone can plunk down money, and replace a failed/worn component...but it is a rigger who figures out how to do the functionally equivalent when that part in no longer available, and "rigs it" (instead of taking the easy way out and trashing the part etc.)...so when I saw your solution, especially soldering the brass to brass where any other securing of the repair piece would have been difficult at least, I had to give "Rigger Compliments"...perhaps "Bodger Compliments" would have needed no explanation...

Rig On!
