USAMPS USA 100 Terminal Block Mounts

chemhaz · 25th February 2009, 10:21 PM

I’m after three terminal block mounts from an old USAMPS USA-100 2 channel amp.

I picked up the nice bright red amp from a second hand dealer and three of the terminal fasteners are missing. They are the black cylinder looking bits of plastic/nylon which slide onto the base of the power and speaker terminals. Once on, you then screw them into the side panel to hold the blocks secure.

If anyone knows what they are called I can track them down, or alternatively if you have some lying around and want to sell them or if you knows a component dealer who stock them… please let me know. This amp is in such good condition it’s a shame to not show it off in my ride.

I call them terminal block supports and I have a local supplier that has them, but they come with terminal blocks also.

I just did 8 US amps for a close friend here in Cali, and I had to replace all of the terminal blocks and supports.
I would recommend the use of cement to secure them in place, as they all seem to have this failure related issues.

I suggest you check with old and surplus electronics dealers. that is where I found my replacement parts....good luck
