VICTORY!!!

Well, sort of. The female amphenol plug is the loose connection. I ran
a drill bit in/out to remove swarf and dirt. Then sprayed BrakeKleen.
Put plug on real tight. It works. My solution for now will be to put a
bracket on the side of the welder to hold all the spoolgun cable. Then
never take the connection apart again.

Failing that, I'll hire somebody to re-solder on a new amphenol plug.
