I had the same problem with one of mine. I was concerned that the solder would melt at the temperature of the element. I soldered it anyway as I had nothing to loose and wasn't willing to pay AUD100 for a new one. So far it still works. The heat up rate is probably a bit different, but I found that by watching them open I could rotate the choke so they were both fully open at the same time. I think the chokes are cheaper in the US, like US$25-35, so it may be an option to solder it for now while you track down a new one.
