Tonight I opened up Perry's package of twinax connectors.
They are brand new! I took one apart and quickly had random
parts in my hands. It was not obvious how it went back together.
Color me clueless. Sigh.
But I had another connector to _carefully_ disassemble and learn
the reassembly sequence. Here's the sequence for those of you
who only received one connector:

1: Connector body "front end" (male pin end) placed on table.
2: White insulator, shoulder (larger) side at top
3: Metal cup, approx 1/4" hole in center, flat end down
4: Machined metal part, larger hole in center. Small diameter
   end down. I assume that the coax shield gets pinched between
   the "cup" of part #3 and bottom of part #4. Can anyone confirm?
5: Rubber washer, slotted side down
6: Thin metal washer
7: End cap

Hope this helps!
