Calling List Radio Experts...
I'm restoring a cool old OD military bullhorn megaphone unit (data
plate says "Speaker Amplifier, A Unit of Public Address System,
AN/PIQ-5" and has a sticker "Overhauled Tobyhanna Army Depot, Date
7126"), and it has a 4-pin connector on the microphone cord.
The small stainless steel button plunger on the microphone activates a
microswitch inside the mic body, but the microswitch is NOT triggering
the amplifier. The microswitch and plunger are working and close the
circuit when pressed. If I remove the mic connector and short the
correct 2 pins on the female microphone jack on the body of the
megaphone, the amplifier is activated. So I know the problem is in
the wire between the microswitch and the connector pins.
So, I need to get into the connector to check the connection from the
individual wires to the pins.
QUESTION:
---------
Is there a way to disassemble this connector to get at the backside of
the pins? If so, how?
Here's a couple of pictures of the connector:
