If it is still brass looking, it likely does have a clear coat of laquor on it otherwise it would tarnish. If painted, remove pain near joint. You do not need a resistance rig. The secret is to be able to hold the two pieces securely and use a soldering iron. Possibly modeling clay would work. Use a little paste flux on both parts. Get the two parts hot with the iron and flow a small amount of solder into the joint. Let completely cool, remove from the holder and file to shape.
