Can speaker terminals on vintage gear be changed?

Hi John,

Didn't I send you Kevin's cables with the Banana plugs? If so, you can order these from Kevin:

If they were the spades, then I am sure that Kevin can get you some of those as well.

Banana on one end and spades on the other. I cut the spade end, but I can't reuse them as the wire was soldered into place. And I tell ya...I have no idea how he managed to put so much wire into such a tiny space...amazing. I think for ease of use I'll just order some Bananas from Kevin or if PC has some good quality ones that are similar.

Rich,
Although they look cheap, these old binding posts are of excellent quality - they were used by several brands in the 90's. Note that the surface is textured, that will assure a high pressure contact zone. And it is not a credit card, it is a fuel point card - but I am sure that it will sound much better if you use a valid platinum credit card.

I think I'll use an now empty Tim Horton's coffee card....LOL!

You really complicate it, guys.
Done in three minutes and forty seconds!

Err..... I would put the binding posts on the non-magnetic strip side. The mag strip is conductive, and you could short out the outputs.
