OK, I don't know if it's more appropriate here or in speakers, but... a friend of mine is trying to replace some female connectors for vintage B&O speakers. The connectors are, of course, nonstandard. Anyone have a clue on where they could be sourced?

I'll swap you a pair for ooh, say, a few tweeters?

Now that you've given me the source, you've screwed yourself out of the tweeters. Besides, these connectors aren't for me- I suspect you know I don't have B&O speakers...
If you're not in a huge rush, I can bring them to ETF in November and give them to a British friend of ours to carry back.

Since he is in Germany, the easy solution would be that he go pick them up from Conrad.de
Those plugs are pretty common in europe.

Yup, 2-pin DIN ...
I think I may even have a few male plugs lost in a toolbox, to use with an old Beosystem I had. No female jacks though... Definitely still available in lots of parts stores or catalog order. I've seen them pretty recently, and cheap.
For the male; The middle pin is flat, and the other is round.

Industry standard 2-pin DIN. Any electronics shop in Europe should have them... does Germany have the equivalent of Radio Shack? What is unusual is that the speaker wires don't have male connectors on them.

They're available from up-market electronic shops here, but still in very poor quality - its how they were designedsangram said:They're available off the street in Calcutta, India, but very poor quality.
