Moderators Youthman Posted June 29, 2013 Moderators Share Posted June 29, 2013 Anyone have a pair of spare wire jumpers they are willing to part with? I purchased these RF-5's and the previous owner did not have the jumpers when he bought them. I can make jumpers for them but if anyone has a pair that they are willing to sell, let me know. I'm temporarily borrowing the jumpers from my friend's RB-75's that I am holding for my friend. I'll call Klipsch Parts on Monday but wanted to check here first.

I don't suppose they are like the jumpers on the back of some of the 1970" era recceivers? If so I should ba able to check Tuesday when I go to Eugene Or. May be able to get them for free, but if not free, should be cheap. Probably less than postage. .................................................................................................................Taz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich_Guy Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Hey Youth I have a few sets from Klipsch I don't need and would be happy to send you what you need. But I probably won't be able to send them out until next Friday, I will be happy to if you can't get any sooner. PM me if you want them sent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tremors Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 As a side note, I believe that not all jumpers are created equal. Something to look into as the size may differ from speaker to speaker. Not sure but worth considering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure but worth considering. Some of Klipsch speakers had gold plated bent metal strap pieces used as jumpers, I think these were used on lower end RF models I have seen, these would need to be the correct shape to match the speakers. While other Klipsch speakers used gold plated spade connectors attached to a short wire, the wire matched the wire used internally in the speaker. These are pretty much a universal fit all and came on Klipsch's higher up RF model lines. The RF-5's originally came with the spade/wire style jumpers.

Moderators Youthman Posted June 30, 2013 Author Moderators Share Posted June 30, 2013 I think he's looking for the straps the go from LF inputs to the HF terminals. Correct. They are the same ones that are used on the RC-7 and several other Klipsch Speakers. It's a red and black wire with U clips (not sure what they call them) on the ends.

Rich_Guy Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Here's a pic of what I have. These are original Klipsch replacement jumpers which Klipsch parts department sells. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the same ones that are used on the RC-7 and several other Klipsch Speakers. It's a red and black wire with U clips (not sure what they call them) on the ends. They're called spade connectors. Spade connectors come in that wider size, plus narrow (1/4" wide across the outside) types to fit the barrier strips used on some older Klipsch speakers.

Do you need the wire ones or the solid metal ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich_Guy Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 The RC-7 pic Youth posted has the original wire jumpers which came on the RC-7 as well as on the RF-5 and RF-7. Here is a pic of the back of an RC-3 ll which used the solid metal strap jumpers. You can use the wire jumpers on pretty much any speaker but the solid straps need to fit the speaker correctly.

Mongo171 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 I thought all RF towers had the solid straps. Learned something new today. Thnx! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAmmer32261 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I need 4 solid straps for 2 of my rf-83"s if anyone knows where i can get them thx for the info Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich_Guy Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I need 4 solid straps for 2 of my rf-83"s if anyone knows where i can get them thx for the info I have another 4 of the wire type jumpers if you're interested, the wire type are generally preferred over the solid type. I am not sure what was original on the RF-83 but I would have thought that they came with wire jumpers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
