Broken speaker binding post-Tandberg 3006A-Help!

[H George]

Hello- as luck would have it during the course of a move one of the speaker binding posts on my Tandberg 3006A broke and now needs replacement. I'm looking to see if anyone knows what a good
replacement would be that would work on this unit. Any suggestions?

I would probably go in and replace both sets with Pomona dual binding posts. More expensive than the chinese crap but if Tektronix and HP can use it in their test equipment it should be ok for a Tandberg power amp. There are also some boutique brands that have a bit more spendy dual binding posts if you want to upgrade. A friend really likes the Cardas (they have a few, different metals) and I installed a set on his amp recently.

Maybe @jdurbin1 has one in his spare parts stash.

I have a few originals but mostly still stuck in whatever corpse they belong to.

I have in the past purchased new drop-in replacements that are virtually identical from Mouser... not sure if the ones I see now are the same parts or a newer version of what they had at the time I bought them last:

Think it's these two:

https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail/Mueller-Electric/BU-P3760-2?qs=EO%2B2iqeaG00LH5Dbsu8W9A==

Whoops, I see those are non-stocked (though they are also marked as "new", which is a little odd). Looks like digikey has them:

Make sure you check the dimensions etc. though, I can't be 100% sure this is the ones I sourced before - I'm looking at one sitting on my desk and it looks like that, and also looks like the OEM part, but do your due diligence.

I went ahead and ordered the post you sent me from digikey. I tried looking for the specs for the original posts online but couldn't find them anywhere.
I'll let you know if they work.

Excellent, thanks.
