Clean it up, solder a wire to it, and then glue the connection down so the wire doesn't rip the fine coupler coil wire out if it gets pulled.

GRJ - I'm thinking superglue would be a better choice here than hot glue. Any different sort of glue I should consider? Superglue and hot glue are the only things on hand. But I have to run into town later already so wouldn't be a big deal to pic up something else. I may get some liquid plastic/rubber to put on top of the fabric covering the coil immediately behind the coupler. It looks like it's there to prevent the coil from shorting against the frame opening when rubbing or to keep the rubbing from breaking the fine coil wires. I can see a bit of copper showing where the fabric is worn. So it looks like it did it's job over the last 65 years.
