[Elecraft] Replacing J3 on a KPA100

[Lee Buller]

  I was wondering if any of you have replaced J3 (the Anderson Power Pole Connectors) on a KPA100.  The hot side (red) was slightly deformed when I did not have a good connection and the connector heated up..  The black APP is OK.  Looking at the the instructions, it would mean taking the board off the heatsink...something I am reluctant to do.
   
  I was thinking about just cutting the two leads...and replacing the connectors...soldering the connectors to the cut leads above the circuit board.
   
  What's the guru's thoughts?
