Good morning to the list,
This is my first post.  I have a used Ten Tec transceiver with  
theModel 962 power supply.  The power supply cable has 4 heavy  
wireswhich terminate at a 4 pin Molex connector. When I put it on  
thetranceiver, it sort of "falls " on.  In other words the female pins  
onthe 4 pin cable connector are loose.  Now it stands to reason  
thatthis is common but I don't want to draw high current like this.
My question is should I extract the pins and replace them or is  
itnormally sufficient for high power to use the extractor to form  
themback a bit ?  Along with this question, can anyone recommend a  
sourcefor these Molex fittings?
Thanks in advance,
John
