Your original should be just fine. Just take it apart, un-solder the wires,
clean the pins and re-solder new cable. That plug is expensive because it
is made by a company such as AMP (mil-spec stuff).

Subject: RE: [TowerTalk] Yaesu Rotator connector replacement
Thanks. That's what I need, but ... do I really need a new rotor connector.
I'd sure like to avoid that (at $50.00) if I can!!!
I can climb the tower and check, but I was hoping to avoid that :-)
