WS19 cable
Hi everyone
Anyone able to tell me how to remove the wires from the inside of the 6pin connector. I picked up a junked cable to use the 6pin connector for another cable. I just can't figure out how the wires are removed from the inside. ive taken the outer cover off and the central screw from the front. After that Im stuck. Any help is much appreciated.

WS 19 6pt connector
Hi Jordan,
While Bob's method would work it is a bit severe. The approved method would be to: Remove spring clip that holds the top cover in place Remove top cover - it hinges Around the plug body near the pressed ring you will find three slots with a thin metal spring tab protruding through. Push each tab in till they clear the body. Gently push the face of the plug, where you removed the screw, out toward the top, it should just slip out. Cheers, Dave |

Jordan, the other problem you will discover is that the existing solder will be unworkable. It won't melt and reset, and if there's a trace of it left the new solder won't stick either. I'd attach that cable to a non-working set and get a good one.

More details please....
Hi Bruce
Why will the solder behave like that Bruce....? Really curious.... my Dad use to buy old military radios in the 50s to build Amateur radios..... which included a dump truck load of no 19..... he use to keep me busy unsoldering various parts for him....... wires had been cut and I was charged with removing the left over pig tail wire...... I was shown how to use a drinking straw to blow away the melted extra solder from the little holes on the connecting pins. I know he soldered some parts back in various devices but not sure what he used. Bob

Still curious .....
Bruce
Can you shed some light on the reason why the old solder will not work.... ...... I may have to do like Jordan and do some repairs to cables. We have a few old no 19 components I could practice on ... but would like to hear what I can expect to see/experience. Thanks Bob

Lead, Lead/Tin or Tin solder always requires a flux or rosin or a destructive amount of heat for removal.
Use plenty of rosin brushed onto the old solder, add extra rosin if the heat doesn't transfer almost immediately, should melt quickly. Don't use flux(plumbing) as it contains acid which is corrosive with predictable results. Old solder can be reused, it is metal, doesn't deteriorate with time, flux and rosin are the key, don't use it and all you'll get is grief. The oxidation on the surface of the lead/tin insulates the solder from the heat of the iron. Flux and rosin cleans the corrosion allowing the heat to transfer.
