I had never seen a Power Pole connector and there are no specific
instructions except for soldering and contact alignment.
My problem was inserting the small pin that holds the connector together.
At first I tried pressing it in using needle nose pliers and it spoinged

Sounds like yours wont fall out then - which is an issue SOME people
have with APPs.
Lots of alternatives to using the pin, including not using anything
(they stay together pretty well) - to using hot-melt glue in the hole,
which quite easy to undo when you want to take the connectors apart

beyond what you would need for any common soldered connector. I've
What do you use at the other end?
I have a single sturdy powersupply that I'm using for 4 devices. It

Some builders have suggested that a special tool in needed for some of the
assembly, eg a grabber type to hold screws and washers. If this is a
necessity for proper assembly, it would do us all a favour if Elecraft would
make a bulk purchase and include it (or offer it as an accessory) with

There were only two times when I needed anything other than my fingers to
hold a nut or washer. I was able to use a magnetized screwdriver in one case

I did the whole thing with a small Phillips head screwdriver and a 1/2 inch
wrench for the front panel shafts. The lock washers provided plenty of
friction so I didn't need any other nut drivers. The resistance checks can be
