Another question would be - anyone ever try to replace that connector 
with something more rugged?
 
I also ordered  a new-old-stock 1N2979A (big 15V zener) off of Ebay to 
replace the big diode where the power comes into the chassis. 
Not sure why TenTec didn't do that orginally. The manual says something 
about it being there to blow the fuse for reverse polarity - why not 
make it a zener and
get an over voltage crowbar too?
