I've had them unplug easily. Had another that if you wiggled it, it would
make and break contact. I solder all mine, taking care not to get solder on
the contact itself.
I went to them after having trouble with some heavy-duty Molex connectors

Attempted to tune up the TX side of a C74CXB today. The odds weren't really in

the tuning.

Hmm??? The book at my friends shop said (if I read it right) that a C74

It may be far enough out-of-band for the harmonic filter that it isn't
