A tip for soldering 'D' connectors: I always plug the connector into a
mating connector before soldering. If the plastic gets soft, the mating

This is a great tip, but everyone should note that he said "a mating
connector", not "the mating connector". In other words, don't plug it into
your EC-2 or EM-2 while your soldering. Note- this has been a public service announcement on behalf of Tracy Crook,
and I'm sure he will approve this message :-)

Thanks Rusty. Very good point. I'd hate to have to pay for repair on a
bunch of EC2's because something got in thru the soldering iron and
blew them up. And Tracy sure doesn't have time to fix 'em either.
