Default Lead free solder or poor QC ?

What are the wire and hole diameters ?


Its all re-assembled now , wire size only is measurable, 20 mil diam.


What I was trying to acertain was whether the wire was a loose fit in the
hole.
Solder doesn't like that.



the 1/3 W resistors have the same diameter leads and they have normal
volcanoes and presumably through the same size drillings


On principle I never presume anything like that. I use hole sizes from 0.7mm to
1.3mm in 0.1mm increments on my designs for a variety of seemingly routine
leaded parts.
