Louis,
You may not even need to change out the connector - just re-shaping the
contacts (both on the rig and on the PS cable end) to make sure there's a
good connection along with applying some contact cleaner like DeOxit may
solve your problem. It would be quicker and easier to try than tearing things
apart to retrofit the connector.
