In need of new RCA Contacts on my 100 railcars

[postman56]

The old RCA input connectors on my Fisher 100 railcars are loose, missing a bit of the ceramic in one, etc etc and I would appreciate if anyone can recommend ones that are good high quality replacements and if it's difficult to replace?
Thanks loads
Ken

"Railcars"? that's a new one to me. send close-up pic of offending parts, some of us may well have something that would work.

Standard RCA INPUT. You can replace with Bolt in Gold plated from AES, or from Parts express.

Drill out the Rivets, Unsolder the wires from the old connectors, solder wires to the new connectors, and install. Very easy unless they are buried in the spaghetti.

Thanks everyone I’ll go on line and pick up a good set, the ceramic inside appears to be chipped

The ceramics do that after years (or decades) of heat - cool cycles. And the Boxcars DO GET HOT! If they haven't been gone thru, suggest you search in the Forum for Dave Gillespie's Threads on the 50-55-70-80(and 80z) and the 100 Boxcars and get some seriously good info on how to get them to perform as they should have from the factory and at the same time increase reliability and cool them down.
