I have 2 Herc II with never a problem (knock on wood). It does pay to clean
occasionally using only a trace of Deoxit. If the connections are not tight,
you can try to bend them together, but for the cost of the contacts, a
replacement is easy

Not sure why anybody would hook up the night before a contest. Oh, yeah, I
finally ran 240 Volts to the shack yesterday and did the same thing. The secret
is to hold your breath till everything's working
Good luck with yours

Subject: [TenTec] Herc II power connector troubles
My TT station has been stacked in a corner for a while. I just put it
together yesterday before the DX test. The Herc II came up
without all four sectors of the power supply cable/connector mated. I
played with it, got it to work with a stick holding up the
cable from the 9420 ''just so...''. As I will be opening up the Herc
II after the contest to fix things, I wonder if there is a history of
issues with this connector? It 'floats' somewhat in the back panel. I
am hoping a judicious resolder job will fix things up.
Any comments/experience??
