[Milsurplus] LM-14 Cable Removal

[Mark K3MSB]

Jim, Kurt

Thank you.   I did not recognize that connector.   I don't like the fact
that the cables are hard wired into the units.   I may decide to replace
them with the appropriate connectors (if available), and I'd probably have
to use another plate.    We'll see.

Attached is a photo of my LM-14.
