Paul,
I assume you mean SO-239 chassis connectors that mate with PL-259 "UHF"
plugs. It's not worth the trouble to rethread such connectors. If
you're going to replace the damaged connectors, don't buy cheap ones;
some of the Shack connectors have rolled threads instead of machined
threads- real crude! Some of them are made of aluminum intead of brass,
and have tinned contacts instead of gold-plated. Cheap connectors often
have phenolic dielectric instead of Teflon or Delrin. These are no more
than junk.
Order some top-quality Amphenol connectors from Mouser or Digi-Key.
These will have silver-plated machined-brass bodies and gold-plated
contacts. Install them, and enjoy trouble-free connections for the rest
of your life!
