Have you got any of those annoying PL259 plugs that won't tighten up because they run out of thread on the SO239 socket? I finally lost patience with two good patch leads that I've had for a few years when I was testing some equipment in the shack. I needed a new patch lead and the plugs were simply too long and didn't fit anything...I tried. Just a quick video with a fix if you've got nothing to lose and they're destined for the bin anyway...
