ON YOUR AN/PPS-5 I L
RADAR SET ... J,


 THERE'S NO
 CONNECTION!


 If you're coming' up with bent or broken pins in the
connector plugs of your Pipsy-5 CX-8666 cable
assembly, it might be high time to take a good look
at the situation also the pins.
 Y'see, there's no guarantee of an exact matchin'-up
of the connector plugs before contact so you've gotta
be gentle and careful all the way.
 If you cock your connector plugs during the
matching, you can bend or break the pins.
 Or there can be damage when you forget and re-
verse the cable-and end up trying male to male
mating.
 Take pains to line up the male plug to the
receiver-transmitter unit and the female plug to the
control-indicator unit.
