I have a DZ 1000 switch machine and a wire broke free from the solder joint. It is the newer ones that do not have the screws to tighten the wires which is really cheap and ridiculous. Can you please tell me a way to reconnect, resolder a wire back on a switch machine? All help will be appreciated as usual. I don't see how you can get a soldering iron in that small area to resolder.

Try wrapping a solid copper wire around your soldering tip, stretch it out for a skinny tip, tin it and see if that works for you. I did one once.
Chuck,
That is a darn good idea, and I will try it. Thank you so much
Happy New Year, Jerry
If that don’t work the simply take it apart. It’s not hard to do.
I looked at taking it apart and it seem harder than I thought pulling out that circuit board. Can you describe an easy way to do this?
Thank you again, Jerry
If you feel uncomfortable soldering in that tight of a space, do yourself a favor, call Dennis Zander and send it to him for repair.
Do yourself a BIG favor, always have several spares so you are not out of operation when something happens. Use terminal blocks to connect the wiring so connecting/disconnecting power is simple.

Yea, I will and please know that I modified this blog after getting responses on how good the Z stuff people are.
Thank you, Jerry

Better thread today, Jerry. But you can't let go of the "really cheap and ridiculous" remark while you ask for assistance. I get it; you miss the old attachment method. Let Dennis help you to get past the anger. And Happy New Year to you and everyone here.
Yeah, I talked to Dennis today and he helped me out and I want to let everybody know that. He seems like a real nice guy and I am definitely sure I overreacted.
I strip the wire extra long then time it I add a dab of flux on end a stick wire I slot I heat the wire exposed and wire becomes solder to machine I cover exposed wire with shrink tube
