Soldertail. I don't do this.


Can you post a photo? If it was on the cable I'd say stop by with it
on your next trip through my area.

Its on the panel. If i have trouble I'll somebody solder pig tails on
an amphenol plugin for me. Then I can crimp connect it in.

I'll do that for you, Karl.

I'll take you up on that. "The Kid" just called. He bought a spoolgun
weld controller for his welder. He asked to borrow the spoolgun for a
project. I'm going to tell him he has to buy me a new amphenol plugin
as part of the deal. Bet he shops eBay for it.
