Question is, can you just solder it back and expect it to work OK?



When I fix coax that small I use my Olympus laboratory grade stereo
microscope, Carl Zeiss reducer, Metcal or Pace full soldering/repair system
plus the finest solders and fluxes available. My soldering system costs more
than RB's home theater amplifier, the wire bonding machine and die placer
cost more than any 2 of his cars. Of course his telescope can't compare to
my national standard descending stage geologic microscope. I can sell it as
broken and buy two of his mass produced, consumer level telescopes.


I just use superglue to repair it.


All seriousness aside. It's much easier to throw it out, and buy a
new hand held. You can get one for under a hundred.








I'm Horvath and I approve of this post.
