Honestly, this is one of the most annoying prolem's I've ever had. I'm almost done with my EMU breakout cable using teflon insulated litz braided 99.99% pure wire with LOK rhodium/silver plugs.
Now all I have to do is solder the LOK plugs on the ends and I'm all set. For some reason, my HGA silver solder simply will not stick to these LOK plugs. I've tried heating the damn thing for a good 15 seconds and it still doesn't work. I've tried with a 15w, 20w, and a 40w (the solder doesnt even stick to the tip of the 40w, it just falls off and beads up on my desk. Weird).
The solder worked great when I soldered to the dsub connector, its only with these loks that it doesnt work.
What gives?
