Over the years I have learned my lesson. Nothing but Amphenol brand
coax connectors here. I especially avoid elbow connectors by Radio
Shack, having burned two of them open. One of the two developed an
intermittent internal connection and as a result did about $400 worth
of damage to my amp due to arcing in the tune capacitor.
A costly lesson.
