Thermistor Broke

Hey I broke my thermistor wire and can't solder it back together. I ordered a 10 pack however I was looking to salvage one from some other electronic device. I see some fan's use them however I can't find one that has one on it. I was wondering if anyone has tried other thermistors from scraps.. I'm also looking to source all printer materials just short of the control board from recycled materials. I'm almost there and if I can find a thermistor from scraps Id be overjoyed!

Don't use unknown thermistors from scraps. You don't know if their resistance curve is anything like the one you had before and you would need to create a compeltley new lookup table for them, which is a pita.

Second that. I think you need to consider a thermistor as a safety device.
