Yes, if the terminals had been designed for that. The terminals on these
would have been designed for soldering, so unless you wanted to replace
all the existing terminals, it would probably be best to stick to
soldering. Either a low-tin + copper or non-tin solder really should solve
the problem anyway.
If repair of the core memory in CHM's IBM
1620 is ever attempted, I
think either low-tin solder alloy with 1-2% added copper or possibly
a more modern indium-lead solder alloy would probably be the best
choice for the enamel wire to terminal connections since that would
greatly reduce the likelihood of any future wire breakage.
Wouldn't solderless bonding/welding be a better alternative?
