Is there a recommended way of getting the coax out of a previously-used
and cable-cut
PL259 but without overheating and distending the PTFE****** core?


Drill out the holes. Center conductor should be easy to unsolder then if
you use a big enough gun/iron to heat it fast.


Of course, thank-you. Simple when you think of it, but I was envisaging
a difficult desoldering operation.

Having two technical pursuits here, amateur radio and model engineering, I
very
rarely think of mixing the two :-(
