Recapping is almost done.  I've worked my way to the cap that is connected to the antenna connector and frame of the tuning capacitor that broke when I was trying to pull the pin out of the connector (it had gotten soldered in by someone at some point - photo and discussion in post #1)  The first picture is the connector before I tried pulling it apart.

John (Eliott Ness) sent me some Molex pins (Thanks!!) to use as a replacement but I was able to get the pin part of the connector unsoldered and its in good shape so I'd like to try and keep that in place.  Female part of the connector is what is broken and it also came unsoldered from the frame of the tuning cap.  I did find a connector that, with a bit of manipulation, will hold the pin nicely.  Now I just have to figure a way to solder the connector to the frame (or connect it in some other way)  That's a darn big heat sink to try to solder to.  Anyone have any ideas on how to go about it?

Just for grins, I do have an alternate solution, a little ugly but I believe it would work.  (The Q-tip is simulating the pin connector that would go there.)
