I tried to  replace a New Cable but it’s too Hard to me,

Is there anyone that has experience in repairing ?
I need some help..

Thanks,
coldframe

That's interesting- I didn't know that the 470kHz SP200 handpiece had a twisted pair cable; I assumed that it was a double shield co-ax like the 13.5 MHz RM3E.
The RM3E comes to pieces by unsoldering the screen where it enters the brass fittings; it looks worse than it is. As posted elsewhere on EEV the inner had usually parted near to the entry to the handle. Maybe this will be the same.
Good luck,  BT

Hi,

May I ask for the proper method of disassembling the 3 pin connector end of the cable?
Is it a must to remove the brass insert from the plastic housing, or I can just pull the 3 pin tuchel connector with the attached cable from the brass part by pressing some hidden pin?

It seems that I can move the cable with the connector part itself a bit axially inside the brass and plastic assembly.
My handpiece is brand new, but I'd like to change the connector and it would be preferable not to cut away the original ending.

Thanks for the help guys!
