My apologies for going far OT here. Any replies direct only please. I am trying to fix the broken N connector on a surplus 100W dummy load, RELM T44004. The female part has lost 2 of its 4 fingers, and needs to be replaced. The connector has a standard size square flange with 4 screws. (This is *not* the same as the larger square flange of the interchangeable Bird connectors). On the back is a custom part that connects to the load resistor. It seems to be crimped to the female N part. My hope is that I will be able to separate these parts and attach the custom part to a new N-female part. The combo slides out easily from the teflon insulator. The first task is to obtain a new N-female part, preferably gold-plated. Taking a hacksaw to a barrel female-female, or elbow male-female seems like a lot of work. Even getting the center connector out of a chassis mount N female might take some work, but seems easier. My junk box is heavy with N connectors, but to my surprise I couldn't find a single chassis mount N female. My question to the group: Has anyone attempted to get the center part out from a female N connector? Was a particular brand of N connector especially easy to work on? Thanks in advance for any tips. 73, Erik K7TV
