For a source of platinum wire, try contacting Wards Scientific Supply
Company at ph# 1-800-962-2660 or other scientific supply companies such as
Frey or Carolina, etc... It is sold by the inch and may come in various
gauges. Marshall

Susan...
My best guess is that you could just splice in with a strand of
platinum wire and make sure you have a solid connection and you would be
all set to go.... Marshall
