My Box saloon appears to have the ends tinned, but I've seen some conflicting information on whether this can actually be detrimental over time as it can crack.
I've tinned the ends, and done it without tinning. Prefer it without, otherwise solder runs into the cable and the wire can easily break at the end of the soldered bit.
I now put bare wire into a threaded terminal, tighten the screw, then put on a drop or two of WD40 to prevent corrosion.
