The plug will come apart and if you had new pins it may be worth the effort. I may re-use mine and shelf the other one along with the 6 pins I have left.

708-1039-ND is the same as PX0410/04S/4550. Did you receive them already, and are they the correct one?

I am just going to buy them. I tried straws, not sure what I'm doing wrong but I can't get the stupid pins out.

The straw thing works on molex type connectors too

The straw idea is awesome.

I fought through this today and finally got it. Time to work on some clamps next.

That's where I went wrong.... I used a hammer drill , lol.

I got it apart, but apparently you need a tool to release the pins...

I'll see If I can find the invoice.
Back ordered sounds strange.......I thought they had hundreds when I ordered

Are they the same? I want to know for sure before I order the wrong one. My temp clamp wires have been broke at the plug for a while and I need to fix it. I was going to take the plug apart and fix it, but I can't get it apart! It looks like once it is together, you can't get it apart without breaking it.

The one on the 1200 is do-able, but fiddly. The 1250 is approximately the same plug, so it would be the same, I guess.

Use a small flat bladed screwdriver and a bit of force. You can get it apart.

What the heck?? It's already broken...

TS-1140 clamps work like a charm on the AK900.
Thanks for your help guys.

Thanks! I ended up useing 1/2 in for the high side, and 1 in for the low side. Works great, thanks for the idea.

Ok , so I'm thinking of the intro to the old tv show " The Six Million Dollar Man " ( I wont complain any more , we can rebuild this , etc. ) ....any specific advice on soldering wire to those tiny gold pins would be much appreciated. Any other specific problems with that connector ?

The 1/8 rca jacks...I'm assuming " mono " jacks are used ( male and female ) ? Im going to search out those next ...any wire recomendations (I've constructed plenty of guitar cords in my time but they were 1/4 inch , lol ) ?

Shrink tubing is your friend.

Thanks. It works great so far & I'm constantly encountering guys on mall roofs who think it's made & shipped looking like the way i have it. Hell their just amazed by a digital display lol

Seems as though it's the same thermistors that ship with the ak900. Also seems extremely simple to replace just the sensor if it ever goes bad
