The title says it, I’m searching for a specific phono ground connector with a M3 thread for fixation on the terminal plate, I‘m searching this specific model for a restoration, Sony used these ground posts on their HA-55 head amp and on the PS-X9 turntable, Sun Audio (Uchida) use them on some of their power amps, so these ground posts or very similar ones must be in production for decades…
Any offer or any hint regarding a distributor to source them would be very appreciated…
Best regards

Hi MAAC0,
thank you for the idea, in the case of this restoration I try to find an exact replacement…

Hi Hearinspace,
thank you very much, I searched for many hours on the internet and you found it… That’s a great help, I’ll try to get in contact with the company, maybe the will sell me this part…
In the past I sent an email to Sun Audio regarding this part, they never answered, the european importer had also no interest…
So again: Thank you very much…
Best regards
Michael
You're very welcome. Let us know how it goes. If you can't get it from them there is probably another source out there somewhere. Good Luck!
Hi tvi,
thank you very much, I'll try to order it now, found this part also on Ebay:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/254525112205?hash=item3b42e0ff8d:g:5VAAAOSwx7heWFCJ
but 55 dollar shipping costs to Germany is not exactly cheap for one litte piece...
Best regards

Hi kodabmx,
nice solution, I'll try to get the Sony PS-X9 - where this part was broken - as original as possible...

With the alternate part number there are lots of hits.
This might be your best bet. Or maybe find stock in Germany by asking Sato Parts in Japan.

Thank you very much for the link, sadly they don’t deliver to Germany… I will ask Sato Parts for stock in Germany..

The german distributor for Sato wanted a premium for ordering these ground posts in Japan, finally I had have to pay more than 120 euro for one single grounding post… Too much for a part that costs normally around 2 - 3 euro…
I was lucky that RS Components in the UK shipped these grounding posts to Germany, so I got 6 of them for around 20 GBP including shipping…
Many thanks to all of you for your help and constructive ideas, I was finally able to complete my Sony PS-X9 restoration with the correct grounding post…
Best regards
Michael
