I meant for scrapyard recycling, not reuse recycling... I have learned
the hard way, it's not worth doing for all the reasons everyone has
already stated plus what you have added, Jim.

Sounds like a great recycle opportunity.
Please tell me how it is possible to melt solder for the surround
soldering of the shield, remove the coax stub, and shake out the
solder inside the shell? That requires a very large heat source and a
way to hold the stub of the coax while heat is being applied and a
means of pulling out the coax once the entire circumference of the
connector is hot enough. And to do it with the absolute assurance
that there won't be solder bridges that are a short or a near short.
And, oh, by the ways -- what does all that specialized equipment cost
-- the very large heat source, the tools to hold the coax stub while
it's being heated and to pull it out of the connector?
And how about having all the solder sucked out of the center pin at
the same time? At a minimum a decent solder sucker would be needed. I
bought one years ago when working on K2 circuit boards, and I could
buy a LOT of Amphenol 83-1SP connectors for what I paid for it.
Repeating -- if you think these connectors can be reused, you don't
know how to solder them properly.
