Terminals/binding posts for Epos ES 11 speakers.

[rockelye]

Hi.

I´m trying to find new terminals or binding posts for my Epos ES 11.
One speaker fell to the floor and two of the terminals now have broken off banana jacks stuck inside.

I have tried drilling them out, superglue on a stick etc. but they´re stuck in there.

Does anyone know if it´s possible to find similar binding posts anywhere?
They are a bit special with just a hole for 4mm banana plugs, and no connection for spade plugs or plain wire.

If not I will try to find some more ordinary terminals that fits the holes on the speaker, or do some internal wiring and lose the bi-wire.

The dimensions for the binding post are:
Length: 34mm
Diameter thin part: 6mm
Diameter outer part: 9,5mm
Depth of outer part: 3mm

The pictures maybe describes better than words...
Any help appreciated.

Those are made to drive in for a press fit, no fasteners.
Remove all wire and solder, and drive them back out with a hammer from the inside.

They are a closed design so I can't tap the plugs out from the inside. I have tapped out both the terminals with banana jack stuck inside.

Those are at least similat to the ones used on old Quad amps. The shells are plstic thou. I used to have some replacements but Chris cleaned up while i was in the hospital and i’d have to do some digging to even see if i had them anymore.

Use a small diameter drill bit 0.060 or 1.5mm and drill through the back side. Stop when it breaks through. Now you can tap out the broken jack. You said you tried drilling out the jack? Run a tap into the remaining shell to cut some threads and use a screw to remove remaining shell. More than one way to skin a cat.
