Pioneer sx-3600 speaker terminal broken

[peter mckeon]

1st time post, please be kind... I bought a the aforementioned receiver last week...in these Covid times, I quickly bought it and did not notice that a clip on the speaker terminal is broken. Would've been nice if the seller was forthright of the issue, however here I am. I've looked online to buy a replacement...dont see any. Any suggestions of where I could locate such a part (in Canada is preferable). Or, is there anyway I can hook up a speaker to this terminal without replacing the entire part? TIA

The easiest solution would just be to use speaker B instead of A, they're electrically equivalent (except, of course, you'll have to select speaker B from the front panel). If you still want to use A, you should be able to stick a small screwdriver underneath that tab that's still in there, and lift it enough to get wire through the hole.

Thx Swechsler... yes I've been using "B"... but I wanted to be able to hook up 4 speakers (use both A and B). There is no spring remaining in the hole, so there is nothing to hold the wire in place anymore. The wire would be loosely sitting in the hole and could easily fall out.

Become a subscriber and post in Bartertown. Maybe someone will have a spare part.

Or:
Post in the Pioneer forum.
There might be someone who had repaired one using another models strip.
I think it can be done. I see this on eBay.

There are a couple of similar terminal sets on eBay, here and here. You'd have to check the measurements with the seller to determine if they'll fit yours. Or if there's enough room, you can try to install a double set of these. But to be honest, your best bet might be to contact the Pioneer parts department and see if they still stock it. Or if you reach someone that's been working there for a while, maybe you'll get lucky and they can suggest a replacement.

If all else fails, consider an external speaker switch box.

I’m taking about using the guts.
I’m pretty sure I have had those Terminals apart at one time.
I’ve been through every Pioneer model from that vintage.
