19-Set 5-Pin Drop Cord Repairs

[David Dunlop]

Has anyone had experience disassembling or assembling these rubber drop cord connectors?

I have a 19-Set Headset Assembly that somebody in a previous life opened the 5-Pin Connector on, and left it like that. The item is in good working order otherwise but I would like to know if there is a proper way of locking the cord assembly back into the rubber cone. The rubber is the usual hard aged stuff and from what I can see, when these things were assembled, a coat of clear varnish was applied around the rubber locking ring to water seal it.

First one I ever saw opened up and the anti stress disk and cording setup is rather interesting.
