  • Not sure what the connector is, but those look like Metri-Pack pins. They release by sliding a thin flat tool or a small jewelers screwdriver in the slot at the bottom of the housing of each pin, lifting a bit to release the pin, and pulling them out the back. Then you can replace that seal, but you’ll have to pull all the wires (keep them in order and marked).






  • The funny part of this comment is that when I was a teenager, I started and ran one of the largest RBBS systems in Canada with about 40 USR modems, and helped out on a couple more big ones like Rusty and Edie’s in the US. I also set up one of the first Echomail and Fidonet nodes in the country, and was a very early adopter getting usenet links working via RBBS. I loved that time, it was exciting and new , and western as hell.

    So I’m pretty sure I know exactly what I’m talking about.
