Loco Bill,
It's a little tough to near impossible to "teach" how to solder on this or any other forum.

Your suggestions are as close as it's possible to come to help this fellow. As you mention, take the unit to a local hobby shop that does repairs.  Soldering a two wires would only take a couple of minutes.

I have two sockets, with bulbs, that fit the drum head.  But if this fellow can't solder then sending these sockets with their wires won't do him any good.

I'd like to help, but in this case don't know how.
