Thoughts from someone who does electronics, but hasn't looked at the sync
circuit - using a 220 ohm resistor would be better than a piece of wire. It
will give the internal circuitry some protection, and being 100 times
smaller than the original resistor, will act like a "piece of wire" for all
other intents and purposes.
