Tiny Phono RCA Plug Cable Screws

[RobbieGong]

Can someone point me to where to get these please.

They are the very small screws that tighten through phono plugs into the cable.

The ones i'm using are tiny and keep loosening for some reason, causing me to lose a channel :( :steam:.

I think they are so tiny that there not making a good connection so I need to look at slightly better bigger ones.

I'd like the tiny screwdriver for them too if any one can point me to those - Thanks :).

Can you post a photo of where the screw fits?
If you are talking about the strain relief screws, then you need to get your cable looked at if it is losing a channel.

Ah, missed that bit. What cables are they?

Hi Kevin / Oliver,

You can see the plugs here and the tiny gold screw I'm referring to, there is one on either side of each plug.

Right channel dropped so I checked them and found the screws very very lose so I tightened one on each at first ( didnt realise there was one each side of each plug :o. so at first all was well but problem appeared again)

Have now tightened all four properly and all seemed well for a while but the right channel again is fading and loads lower than the left which is fine :scratch:

As you say Kevin, sounds like the cable needs looking at. I'm just baffled why It works for a while after tightening then fades to low output, eventually non from left :steam:

Should those screws be tight loose ??

They are strain relief screws, so should just be tightened enough to secure the cable.
If they keep coming loose, then a tiny drop of theeadlock will help.

You need to get the cable looked at as it sounds like you have either a dry joint, or a loose connection.

Yeah something isnt right.

As I say, I've tightened a few times.

Each time right channel comes back and works fine but then eventually fades and then nothing - man !!! :steam:

If it aint one thing it's another !!! Fed up ! :(

I second the threadlock adhesive advice. You can buy it in a car parts shop, also places such as the likes of Amazon and ebay. Careful you will only need a tiny bit.

As fir the small screwdrivers you can buy multi bit kits from Poundland, Wilko, Amazon, ebay etc.

Hi Oliver, thats really good of you.

If you could try it first when you receive it, just to see if it works properly in your set up or not and then check it over for me that would be much appreciated.

If you pm me your address I'll get it over to you.

I'll cover cost of return postage and your time of course.

[Bigman80]

I'll PM you now, Robbie. Hadn't realised my phone battery had died!!!!! [emoji38]
