Trashed hotend from stuck filament blob
Hi everyone, I've broken my transistor wire and possibly more while removing stuck filament blob.
I'm looking for some information on anything else I may have broken from the pictures and any tips for getting this repaired while theres still so much filament glued on.
What are the fabric cables, one of which seems to be broken for? 
Appreciate your help.

Those are the heater wires.
Replacement thermistors are readily available.
It's hard to tell what plastic extruder parts may have been damaged.
My hunch is that if you disassemble it and heat the block with a bench supply or carefully scrape the plastic residue away, the hot end itself will be good.
