I have always had some issue with D-Sub connectors.


If you found soldering D-Subs frustrating, these would have you raging
through the engineering cubicles swinging an axe:

Um, yeah! I've got a bad connection on the joystick cable for one of my
scissor lifts. If the cable stays straight it never has an issue. Instead
of tackling that darned zillion pin connector I clamped the joystick box in
place so it won't move and taped spiral wrap around the base of the
connector and the first foot of the cable. Works great. LOL. Mostly
though I just use the other scissor lift. LOL.
