Re: I bet I know this one.   After you unsolder and remove old foil 
it is necessary to insulate or cover the tabs that old foil 
connected to, use a thin strip of electrical tape.  Slide new foil 
in and solder inverter leads directly to new foil.  I tried the 
white but the blue is easier to read for these aging eyes.  Let me 
know if that works,  Doug
