DAMO 1147 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 I just swapped in my Sansui 505 and realized that all my speaker cable won’t fit the old style cable connectors. Little plastic push downs that reveal a very small hole for the connection. I believe to change over to newer posts would be around $200 - $250 (Pete & Skippy correct?). Therefore suggestion for decent 2-2.5m of cable at less than the change over appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have some 'special' binding posts especially for the models with these kinds of connectors. Typically it's about $80 per set of four including installation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blakey72 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) @DAMO 1147Here's the Pete/Skip end product. Very good indeed. Edited December 10, 2018 by blakey72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
audiofeline Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Individual metal binding posts at Jaycar are about $5 ea, the plastic ones are less than $3 each (lots of different styles). These can be mounted on a piece of perspex cut to the size of the plastic push-down assembly. Easy job to solder. I would replace the two sets of speaker binding posts when you do the job so those old connectors become a distant memory. I remember making this change to an amp with similar speaker connectors that I owned many years ago, I was tired of mucking about with those horrid connectors. It made life so much easier every time I moved house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ta I dropped into Jaycar last night, and picked some up - there straight and not like those cable gal ones, but the way the those "horrid connectors' work its pushing them off queue and there lose and don't look like even the better ones will work. I'm going to send the unit to Pete_Mac for the proper ones. Then its done and I do plan on keeping the unit at this stage. cheers for tips and cheers for the holidays.
