[Johnson] Rear 120VAC Connector on Johnson Transmitter

[David C. Hallam]

Hi Brian.

I have done that.  But no matter how I try to tighten the contacts in 
the socket or slight bend the pins on the crystal can it is still 
loose.  Every time I moved the Invader I had to check to make sure it 
was still plugged in, hence the duct tape.

I even bought one of the connectors Glen Zook makes but still have the 
same problem with it.
