Topic: Can't get a good connection with this Geogle L right angle. |

Is anyone having trouble with these ends?
Maybe I'm pushing the cable in too far or not far enough. (it's hard to determine)
i'd like to know exactly where the connection is. (maybe right where the diameter of plug widens??)
I did remove the screw. 
Any suggestions?
Thanks

| The screw is the ground and must be tightened to a fair degree to get a good connection. Check where the connection has failed using the other end of the cable with an ohm meter. |

Also, either straight or right angle, use a sharp utility knife with a new blade and cut cable directly down on a hard surface such as wood, I use a piece of corian and get clean cut. Take the screw out as if you try to back it of far it's going to fall out and drop off your bench and you are searching for it..
Push the wire all the way in rolling it at the same time and then reinsert the screw and tighten until the screw is just below the surface line of the barrel. Check with a meter or plug into a small amp and touch the ends.
Been doing it this way for a long time and it works for me. |

Cut your cable clean and straight. DO NOT
STRIP CABLE! Back the set screw out, far
enough to clear the inside hole to let the cable
pass freely. Put your plug on the cable, and then
apply pressure until it bottoms out. This is your
hot connection. Tighten your set screw until you
are butted up against the cable. Then tighten
the set screw 1½-2 rotations. This is your
ground connection.

Thanks Guys!
I got this new 90 degree plug working fine. Great directions.
I was ready to can the George L idea, but I'm back to a sane mind. |
