WS19 cable

[Bruce Parker (RIP)]

Jordan, the other problem you will discover is that the existing solder will be unworkable. It won't melt and reset, and if there's a trace of it left the new solder won't stick either. I'd attach that cable to a non-working set and get a good one.

I just can't figure out how the wires are removed from the inside. ive taken the outer cover off and the central screw from the front. After that Im stuck.

Any help is much appreciated.

Hi Bruce

Why will the solder behave like that Bruce....? Really curious.... my Dad use to buy old military radios in the 50s to build Amateur radios..... which included a dump truck load of no 19..... he use to keep me busy unsoldering various parts for him....... wires had been cut and I was charged with removing the left over pig tail wire...... I was shown how to use a drinking straw to blow away the melted extra solder from the little holes on the connecting pins.

I know he soldered some parts back in various devices but not sure what he used.

Jeez Bob..All is revealed..!!
Lead solder poisoning..!!
Too much solder sucked UP through the straw..rather than blown away..Sever brain damage..
Only cure know to man is a daily infusion of Beer!!!

Can you shed some light on the reason why the old solder will not work....

...... I may have to do like Jordan and do some repairs to cables.

We have a few old no 19 components I could practice on ... but would like to hear what I can expect to see/experience.

Thanks

Don't do it Bruce. They know too much already in Ottawa.

I hear they are going to hold Chris in the barn for ransom.

Offers???
