[Elecraft] PL-259 connectors

[Drew AF2Z]

It was an 83-1sp I recently bought that had defective threading. Let's 
face it: the name brand products of the past are not what they used to 
be, quality-wise. (Some others I will never buy again: Grundig, Levis, 
Herman boots...)

Mental note to self regarding PL-259's-- check for defective threading 
before soldering connector to cable.
