Anyone ever assembled a 4-pin .093" Molex connector without the proper crimper? I would rather not have to buy an expensive crimper that I’m only going to use once.

LATER: Never mind.

Ella took one look at the situation said “Let me give it a try. That’s the sort of thing I do every day at work, with pliers” (she’s an orthodontic assistant). Sure enough, she had them all adequately crimped in about ten minutes. When I told her I was going to post this on The Island, she told me “Be sure you mention that I broke a nail in the process.” I told her that a man can’t stand being consistently bested by a woman and if she didn’t stop being better than me at everything, my penis might fall off. I don’t think she believed me.

The AH-4 is now functional and I'm on the air again!

Expensive crimpers?

Most people would sh!t a gold brick if they knew how much I had tied up in just one drawer of my electronics toolbox. And one of my area buddies has orders of magnitude more. The family owns a cable fab business.
