Bill, I started laughing as I read your description of my own 
experience...  Best thing I've come up with in the past 4 years of doing 
this is to get a DIN socket and put in on the plug before you do the 
soldering.  It will hold those "floating" pins in place.  And I now use 
small solid copper wires to bring signlas out of the plug before going to 
any stranded cable wires...  what a production.

Good luck and let us know how you like the PRO III.
