[TowerTalk] PL-259 - can connectors be recycled?

[john simmons]

Doesn't everyone have a bin full of these? "I'll get to this sometime"

Colleagues,

Thanks all for discussion and good advice on co-ax connectors.

I have some old (at least 50 yrs) silver-plated PL-259 connectors that presumably are good quality.

The problem is that they are properly and solidly soldered to co-ax.

Has anyone had success at desoldering PL-259 connectors and removing the co-ax.? If so, any guidance on how to do this would be appreciated.  (I do not have professional de-soldering tools - just the basics.)
