Default Re: Removing curly cord from receiver

Thank you for your replies. I understand the principle now, although I'm having trouble finding a pair of pliers ( or any other tool for that matter! ) that will grip the crimped clip tightly enough to turn it without damaging it or it's surroundings. I'm not familiar with the term '81s', which makes me think I probably don't have any ...! If anyone has any suggestions for workaround methods of turning the clip, that would be great, otherwise I'll keep improvising till I come up with something.

Other than that, I'm having trouble finding a replacement curly-cord with the hard-wired u-shaped spade connectors at each end and the right amount of cores ( i.e. four ). Doesn't seem to be too much of a problem if you're in the USA, but so far I haven't come up with any in the UK. Given the fact that they seem pretty hard to come by in the first place, I'm not sure what the chances will be of finding a red one!

Any thoughts on either of the above would be appreciated.
