OK. You have a 22-pin tube. Three of those pins will have no internal connection. If the broken wire is one of those (see photo below), you can just continue with assembly. Otherwise, please contact [email protected] with a link to this thread for a replacement.

I had the same problem. I was working very carefully, but a wire disconnected. It was not one of the 3 that aren't connected internally. It was the one just to the right of the arrow. I'm so close to finishing the ice tube clock (product #194). Support told me to post in the forum. What do I do now?

Unfortunately, our supply of these tubes has run out. They have not been manufactured for many years, so finding NOS tubes in any quantity is nearly impossible. There are still sources for individual tubes or small lots on eBay and similar sites.
