I had a huge struggle with soldering a couple of DB-9 connectors, my vision
and fine motor control just aren't what they used to be. And, I only had to
make 5 connections on the DB-9's, it took me close to an hour. These are for
a DRO, I've been using a break-out box until now on the mismatched scales and
display. Remember, the display bit the dust a while ago.

I did have the connectors locked in a miniature vice but I couldn't think of
any other techniques that would help.

Just a start. You will have to find the size you need and male or fmale
and the bodies to use.

You can also get crimp style DB connectors at radio shack. Easy access
for those times you only need a couple.
