The copper goodies are in there but broken. I remember something about
them helping to stop relays from buzzing and was thinking about making
some replacements from copper wire just as you suggest. does it have
to be a continuous loop or can it be open and just crimped in the slot
of the armature?

In the past I have made a new shading coil from 14 or 12 ga. copper
wire silver soldered together and forced back into the slot on the face
of the solenoid. If yours dosen't have a slot you may still be able to
put Cu wire through the holes and with a micro torch silver solder the
ends. I don't think regular solder would hold up.
