Loose screws

The connections in LP body wire plugs are achieved by offset steel pins. They each have a hole near the base, through which the wire passes, and a threaded hole down the center for a sharp threaded screw to pierce the insulation surrounding the wire. This screw must be tightened completely in order to penetrate the wire insulation; otherwise the screw can loosen slightly, resulting in high resistance (typically 80 or 90 ohms) and a poor connection. To remedy the fault, simply take a screwdriver and tighten the screw. If you have a broken screw, replacement ones can be bought for minimal cost [LINK]
