Hello Folks. I just discovered the copper bands inside the starter at the power supply have separated. Is brazing used to hold these two copper bands together? Thank you.

They are soldered. Brazing will be too hot the flame will burn other stuff as the flame will go places you dont want

That is a job for someone who has done it sucessfully before. It took me a few bungled jobs many years ago to develop a method that works. No one could tell or show me how to do it. I take the field pole shoes out,(marking each one to reinstall in original place) so the coil ends and stud can be cleaned properly. New stud if necessary, new insulators if at all possible, assemble fields and shoes,stud with washers in place but nut not tightened up. Flux it down good, heat stud carefully near threaded end with torch and apply resin core solder . This will heat stud to melt solder without overheating insulators. Then tighten everything down and check for grounded fields. Note also, the field shoes have a longer lip in the direction of rotation.
