Vintage locking terminals on JBL 150A speakers
« on: 1 Oct 2010, 10:35 pm »
This always seems to come up with older speakers.....the speaker wire terminals. In particular,my pair of JBL 150 A speakers with the locking terminals,as they are called. They lock to the the right after wire is inserted.
I have a nice pair of Supra Sword cable i should be using with these speakers and i would like to re-terminate one end of these cables to  straight banana cable ends,but this cable looks so big! Anyone know of the right banana end for this type of speaker that might solve this issue?  Anyone have any idea what the size of these terminals are?   Many Thanks!
