It was an 83-1sp I recently bought that had defective threading. Let's
face it: the name brand products of the past are not what they used to
be, quality-wise. (Some others I will never buy again: Grundig, Levis,
Herman boots...)
Mental note to self regarding PL-259's-- check for defective threading
before soldering connector to cable.

Type N connectors are great! I just don't see where is any gain to using them
on HF! They will make NO difference on either end of your QSO.
Most of the PL259's I see for sale today are crap. I'm a professional in the
communications industry so I use both styles on a Dailey basis
The 83-1SP's as sold by amphenol today are not anywhere near as good as they
used to be. The silver coating on them doesn't take solder as easily as they
once did!
Glad I have plenty of the old ones!
