NEED HELP: vintage Michell speaker terminals!
Hello everyone!
I have a set of vintage Michell "Gold Plated Speaker Cable Connectors" (in fact - speaker terminals), but I don't understand how to mount them on speakers, there is no fixing nuts... Does anyone had an experience with these style of Michell terminals? How to mount them?
Photos attached.
Regards, Andrew.

I'm guessing from the coarse thread that they are designed to screw into a suitably sized pilot hole in the back of the speaker cabinet.
Then solder to the protruding tip inside the cab.
I love Hendrix for so many reasons. He was so much more than just a blues guitarist - he played damn well any kind of guitar he wanted. In fact I'm not sure if he even played the guitar - he played music. - Stevie Ray Vaughan

You need to talk with Michell Engineering.
They still have the speaker terminals on their website http://www.michell-engineering.co.uk...ker-terminals/

They are not tapered so unlikely to be self tapping into wood i dont think. Also have a flat end. Look like they screw into a metal or plastic threaded socket at a guess...

That type of thread is for screwing directly into wood or plastic . It's not made to take a nut .

Correct - I believe that they need a suitable sized pilot hole drilled in the cabinet, then you need to solder directly to the protruding end inside the cabinet.Originally Posted by brian2957

Seems to be most logical way of using them...
Thanks to all!

As I recall, these are meant to be used as adaptors, enabling thick speaker cable to be inserted into the spring clips on various Japanese amps.
The speaker/amp terminals had a larger diameter thread and came with nuts and washers to secure.
