I believe the technical name for that "putty like substance" in the Navy supply
system was Monkey Shit. When I was a Radioman a long, long time ago, that's
the only name ever used.

My experience too. I might have inadvertently bought Amphenol connectors
60 years ago when the market was much smaller, and Amphenol market share
was larger, but I never did it on purpose. The only connector failures
I've had over the years, a comparative few, could be attributed to hasty
Used PL259s on my 432 array,, was up for 15 year and
taped and coated with silicon seal,, looked like new when I
took them down and the match was 1.1

I've seen this as well in perhaps 1% or less of the Amphenol 83-1SPs
that I've bought and installed. The symptom is that the height of the
thread is shorter than it should be, and you
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
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

Unfortunately probably no manufacture is using Amphenol jacks. I have had
N jack failures in equipment where non-Amphenol connectors lost their
spring and I previously owned an Acom amp that had very loose fitting
SO-239's.

I just checked that website and some of their prices. Way too high for
my blood!
DX Engineering at www.dxengineering.com ships worldwide. They sell
silver/Teflon connectors (I use them and they are very good quality).
