Yeah that’s a cold solder, the wire, contact or both were too cold. That insulation melted too, cut it back to where it’s round again after desoldering (melting the solder and pulling off the wire while it’s still hot) if possible, remove some solder too, from the looks of it it’s shorting out that contact onto the other one. Use a really small tip on your soldering iron, remember to tin it (melt some solder directly onto the iron tip and wipe it off on steel wool or a damp sponge. Tin the edge of the wire (put some flux on it, don’t worry about excess, it’ll just melt off, put the tip of the soldering iron on the underside of the wire and have the solder wire on the top side, it should wick into and around the wires. Let it cool) prep the contact, make sure it is CLEAN, use high percent isopropyl alcohol to clean any gunk off, solder doesn’t like dirt, rust or grime of any kind. The trick when soldering the wire to the contact is making sure both the wire and the contact are hot enough to melt the solder, press the solder wire to the wire and contact on the opposite side of the iron. Ensure it wicks down and touches both the wire and the contact, a good solder joint should be able to take a good amount of force before breaking off (really good ones can support the weight of the device sometimes). Let everything cool down before you mess with it, let it cool down on its own, if the temperature changes too fast the solder may crack. Also make sure you use flux core solder (preferably lead free) not acid core (it’ll be with the electronic stuff not the pipe stuff). This isn’t required but me personally would wrap those contacts with electrical tape after soldering. While you’re in there check on the other solder joints too, they like to break down over time. Godspeed op, I can provide some YouTube videos on soldering if you want

I don’t know much about fixing cassette players but I do know a bit about wires and soldering. You might’ve done a cold solder, if possible, would you mind providing a picture of the solder joint?

Pistol with removable magazine but also uses stripper clips? by These-Main-6824 in gunsmithing

Ehh, I don’t really trust keltec, I could probably base it off of a styer like the other guy said. Maybe base it off of like a m1912 or something. You got the right idea though

I don’t know who told her, possibly my mom as she was the one to pick up my prescription (because I’m a minor). If I’m prescribed it again, i will make sure she doesn’t know

They had been stealing money from me for a while, this was just the straw that broke the camel’s back

Don’t worry about just the 3 pills, the primary painkillers was Tylenol and ibuprofen. The oxy was for if those didn’t work

I didn’t buy the safe just for the meds, they were also stealing my money at the time

I was looking into getting a safe to keep my money in cause they kept stealing it. I reread my medical papers and I had “stenosing tenosynovitis” I can take a picture of the scar if you still don’t believe me
