No. You've got to replace the pole. I've successfully done it with much larger power poles that still had a wire attached, but with the wire broken off, you'll never get it out. If the wire were still attached, you could slide a small screwdriver between the soldered contact and the retaining spring under it, then pull on the cable to get it out. These connectors are inexpensive, widely available, and work very well. I've rewired my entire station to use them for power, and also used them for all the computer equipment that uses "wall wart" supplies of various sorts. 73, Jim K9YC ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
