We got the colinear down, but how does one get to the SO239 to remove the feeder? I don't know its make, because I got it 2nd hand about 12 years ago at the Flight Refuelling rally. It's about 8 feet long, and a the bottom are 3 little radials about 18 inches long. As far as I can remember, one should remove the stub pole from the bottom to access the SO239, but therein is the problem. We had the Stilson wrench, and any number of plumber's grippers, but it won't budge, even after the application of WD40 and the the gas blowlamp (and there's an interesting thing, I'd not used the blowlamp for about 20 years and Lo! and Behold! it has a soldering iron attachment exactly right for the original PL259 problem (shame facedly) ) Any ideas, apart from sawing the stub to bits and replacing it with other aluminium tube? YES!!!! We did remove the little nut that fixeth the stub pole :-) May well be corrosion welded! A few sharp taps with a hammer might help !! |
