I was trying to uncouple the battery from the connector when it pulled the battery wires off the mic circuit board. There is nothing left to solder to so can I drill the holes out at the board connections and put new wires through the board and resolder them? I have a bit small enough to do this or is there a better way to make the repair?

Thanks so much for your help.

Which mic are you working on? A pic of the board would be helpful as well.
 
I wouldn't recommend drilling the board, just use the iron to push out the solder and wire strands. Strip existing wire, tin and push back into the holes for soldering.

I am very old school and don't have a way to post pictures. I can reattach the battery positive wire to where it was , but not the negative wire. Any idea where a good ground location would be to reattach the negative wire to on the 575M-6 board?

I am unable to post pictures. Sorry. I can reattach the positive battery wire to the board where it came off, but not the negative wire. Can you recommend a good alternate location to reattach the negative battery wire on the 575M-6 board?

Thanks
 
He has two threads going on this, here is the other post he made. It's always best to post one time on a question.

    Hello gentlemen and Ladies. I have the dreaded RCI-2990 receive issue where my radio gets distorted when people get close to my location. I found the C90 Capacitor, but I can not for the life of me find the C89 capacitor. Can or does anyone have a picture of the exact location of C89 ? Thank you in advance, Wes
