Speaker wire block 1980 Fisher CA-880

[rmasteller]

Hi. I have an old Fisher standard studio component system that still works great. We moved recently and between disconnecting speaker wires at the old place and movement during moving, most of the spring loaded wire clips broke. Where's the best place to find a new (or used) wire block for the back? Thanks!!

Picture?

Yeah, are they straight or angular?

Maybe something like this would work??

Yes, they look like that on the front (external), but not on the back (internal). I can take pics tonight. Looks like existing internal wires are looped around the internal contacts, which stick out at about a 45 degree angle, then coated with clear plastic. I assume a solder job on a new junction block would be the way to go?

Here are a few pics of my speaker wire block. In the two eBay links provided above, the products have slightly different dimensions so I need to measure mine.

I guess you could fab a plate and put something like this.. https://www.parts-express.com/parts-express-dual-binding-post-1-red-1-black--090-475
