Exactly.  Resoldering a wire to the stainless steel battery contact in 
an OM-1 is difficult. to.  Old corrosion must be filed off, then buffed 
with superfine emery cloth.  Then just a LITTLE soldering paste (rosin 
core is not enough).  If you use too much solder paste, it will also not 
solder properly.  Then heat up, try to create small solder ball on 
contact to insert wire into.
