Hi Jim:
How lucky do you feel?
If you hold the pin end (CAREFULLY !!!!) and turn the knurled collar
above the locking ring it should (SHOULD, being the important word in
the sentence) unscrew and expose the crimp or solder connections.
Note: One way to hold the pin end is to put it in the mating socket and
CAREFULLY turn the collar. The up side is that it may hold the connector
with out damage, the down side is that if it does not work, it can screw
up both the plug and socket.
If the connector will not come apart, or gets screwed up, these are
common connectors, and William Perry in KY can fix you up with a
replacement.
Good luck, and if it goes horribly wrong, remember I told you to be
careful! <G>
Hank

Subject: [MV] MV RADIO RELATED -- Need Instructions for Microphone
Connector...
Calling List Radio Experts...
I'm restoring a cool old OD military bullhorn megaphone unit (data plate
says "Speaker Amplifier, A Unit of Public Address System, AN/PIQ-5" and
has a sticker "Overhauled Tobyhanna Army Depot, Date 7126"), and it has
a 4-pin connector on the microphone cord.
The small stainless steel button plunger on the microphone activates a
microswitch inside the mic body, but the microswitch is NOT triggering
the amplifier. The microswitch and plunger are working and close the
circuit when pressed. If I remove the mic connector and short the
correct 2 pins on the female microphone jack on the body of the
megaphone, the amplifier is activated. So I know the problem is in the
wire between the microswitch and the connector pins.
So, I need to get into the connector to check the connection from the
individual wires to the pins.
QUESTION:
---------
Is there a way to disassemble this connector to get at the backside of
the pins? If so, how?
Here's a couple of pictures of the connector:
