egronenthal Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Forgive me for asking a dumb question, and one that's probably been addressed elsewhere on this forum, but what is the size of the thread used on the speaker cable binding post and nut? I have a pair of Forte IIs from 1990. The plastic nuts have stripped and I need to find replacements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erik2A3 Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 Not a dumb question in the least. One thing you might try is removing one of the binding post nuts from the speaker in the other channel. Take it to a home improvement store (hardware/fastener section), where most have an assortment of threaded studs just for this purpose. Try the nut on those until you find the one that's correct, note the identification of that specific thread, and you have what you need.

artarama Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Around here we have several good Ace hardware stores and they have a big selection of specialty fasteners. A good selection in metric even some black and chrome. you might give those a try as well. Even better if you have one of those hundred year old family hardware stores in your town, find it and go there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colterphoto1 Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 I take the cups off and install new binding posts from Parts Express or other source, it takes a little soldering is all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dghome Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 I remember reading that Fastenal had brass wingnut style fasteners that fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
