I had a number of Molex pins to wire up recently. To make things easier I decided to use some 4-core signal cable I had but found that the insulation is so poor at resisting heat that soldering the Molex pins was a non-starter as it always ended up with bare wires. Of course, Molex pins are designed to be crimped… so off to eBay.
The latest addition to my toolbox arrived in a couple of days and made the job a lot easier.
From Top to Bottom:
Not shown are my RigExpert VNAs, the NanoVNA, the Koolertron 60MHz function generator, the Tacklife 30V 5A variable DC power supply, and handheld digital multi- and LCR meters. On the bench is the Weller WE1010NA soldering station. Oh yeah, and my Elegoo 3D printer.
I think its turning into a proper little radio lab! State of the art, circa 1982!

I found it on Amazon Prime. The workshop scenes remind me of ham workshops. The movie character Harry Caul was based on real-life Marty Kaiser. Was Marty a ham?
POSTSCRIPT (August 23, 2024): Yes, he is a ham! W3VCG! FB. Here is his web site:

Thanks to Roy WN3F for reminding me to watch this film. Roy found a clip that is reminiscent of hamfests: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=joM5VDCIQg8
