Fw: [TowerTalk] Yaesu Rotator connector replacement

[W3YY]

I see in a subsequent post that the connector at the rotator end costs much
more than the buck or two for the Molex at the other end.  If my memory
serves me right, however, the rotator connector has soldered pins, so should
be reusable.  You should check that.
