[Elecraft] KPA100 Receiver Tests failed! - Problem nearly solved (Crimp pin removal)

[Tom Hammond]

Hi Charlie:

Unfortunately these ate not cylindrical-bodied connectors. So the 
thin-wall brass tubing won't work here... too bad, too... that method 
works GREAT on many MOLEX-type connectors... I usually salvage old 
telescoping transistor radio antennas for that specific use.

Fortunately, all he has to do is to reach in thru the access hole for 
each pin and depress the little locking finger and pull the pin out, 
then bend the finger back up into position.

73,
