WANTED: Pioneer / Akai Speaker Connectors

[The Grand Wazoo]

Hi folks,
I'm trying to track down some speaker connectors that Pioneer & Akai used to use in their early -mid 1970's amps & receivers. I've got one & could do with at least one more. Three would be brilliant!

They look like this:

If anyone's got one (or some) rattling around in the back of a drawer or something, I'd be pleased to hear from you.

They can be bought on the web, but have you seen the price?! Up to now I've made do with a bodge from some car type spades, lovingly snipped & bent to shape, so I'm not desperate. If I thought it was really important, I'd fit some proper modern sockets, but it would be nice to have the real thing & keep the old receiver in original condition.

Thanks a lot in anticipation.

Cheers

Sounds a bit like the problem faced by users of Quad 50E amplifiers. The special 11-way Jones plugs are about £100 to buy new. In some ways this is understandable as manufacture ceased many years ago and the design is now being remade in limited quantities. But even so!

In your case, I'm sure someone is asking a lot for them on ebay.

A gentle nudge to this ancient thread - I'm still looking!
If anyone has some of these, they could help me out - I actually only need one.

Still looking for one or more of these little tinkers.
If anyone has one rattling around in a drawer or bits box, I'd love to hear from you.
Cheers
