Gregory,
Presumably you're in the middle of or have finished the job, but I'll
be amazed if you managed that. (Are these power supplies built the
same I wonder?)
If nothing else, if you do manage to pull it through, can't see how
you would get it back afterwards without stressing the weave again.
Very tight in there.
Another thought, is that there is very little (if any) excess of
wiring within the casing so little healthy slack to pull through
(maybe a centimeter/quarter inch at most). In the opposite direction,
the tightness of the fit makes me wonder whether the frayed weave
will even go through at all - like trying to get a thread through the
eye of a needle (without moistening together the end).
If there is a difference, the power supply I have, has the protection
of the cable and the 'conical thing' (anyone have a simpler name for
this thing?) seemingly moulded as one.
I was loathed to cut 'it' open but found no choice. Looking forward
to your explorations and results.
>Also I want to see if I can (splice) the stumps of the existing wires...
This was how I did my first repair, similarly wanting to avoid the
soldering. Still works fine, after about two years. I must add, both
are reinforced by turns of electricians tape extending the conical
shape of the 'conical thing' further up the cable and spreading any
bending stress over a greater area of the cable.
>The only thing missing is the proper solvent to re-weld the box closed.
Someone on the list must have ideas on this. Any offers?
Fingers crossed for you.
Marc
