B&O speaker connectors

[SY]

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?

 

[SY]

Head-on view.

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.

I know planet10 can help here on this.

 

[pinkmouse]

No rush at all on the tweets, still far too busy to do anything with them.

As for the connectors, now you know what they are you should be able to pick them up locally, if not, tell me and I'll put a pair in the post.

Actually, the fellow who needs them is in Germany, so it's his worry, now that you've done the hard work.

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.


Also found one source here:

The connectors are, of course, nonstandard.

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.

I regard calling these non-standard a little arrogant !!!!!!!

One can go one's entire life in the US (and I have) without ever seeing those connectors on speakers. So, I will plead "nicht gueltig" to the charge of arrogance (about this, anyway ).

Those bring back some memories this side of the pond! Those were on the very first Philips turntable/amp combo I tinkered with (and blew up, I must add). They're available off the street in Calcutta, India, but very poor quality.

Sorry for the OT.

They're available from up-market electronic shops here, but still in very poor quality - its how they were designed
