xm0067 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Hey all, New guy here. I just inherited a set of Chorus IIs that are unfortunately in a bit of a state of disrepair. One of the negative terminals on the system is busted off. Can anyone detail the process I'm going to need to take to repair it? Am I going to have to solder? I already contacted Klipsch support and they put me in contact with a repair shop that does not have the terminals in stock, so is there a generally accepted after market set to use? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimjimbo Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 Hello and welcome to the forum. Could you post a pic or two? And yes, you are likely going to have to solder..... BTW, where are you located? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xm0067 Posted June 27, 2017 Author Share Posted June 27, 2017 Unfortunately I don't have any pictures available to me right now, but I can paint you a lovely verbal picture: The screw terminals have a hole drilled down through them to place a wire, and then the cap is screwed down to establish connection. Apparently my father thought his system wasn't working because of a bad connection and tightened it with a wrench until it sheared perpendicular to the plane of the hole. It's truly borked. I'm in the greater Denver area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueHusky79 Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 I am need of replacement binder posts as well. Klipsch suggested either Parts Express or Monoprice. Between the two websites, an overwhelming pool of possible solutions was offered. I was overwhelmed by the choices and welcome anyone's opinion, please. Noted a basic plastic binder post with the hardware metal appear gray/silver color. Plus what I believe is a preferred option, binding p99to to ost. Made of 100% copper, coated with 24k gold.Thank you in advance, JeffSent from my SM-G920P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

avguytx Posted June 27, 2017 Share Posted June 27, 2017 If you remove the terminal cups Phillips screws, it should give you a good idea of what you need. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wvu80 Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 I don't think you will have to solder. Crimp on ends should be available. Do pay attention to how thick the screw or stud is. Replacements sometimes have a big screw, sometimes a smaller one. I don't know of any way to measure the replacement, you kind of have to eyeball it. If you decide to upgrade from stock, be sure to order a set of four. Here is the list of binding posts on Ebay: https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2054436.m570.l2632.R2.TR10.TRC2.A0.H1.Xbinding+posts.TRS0&_nkw=binding+posts&_sacat=32852 You don't have to pay a lot of money. I used these for a broken CF-4 post, very close to stock looking. I don't know if this is what your Chorus II posts looks like or not. $3 and free shipping. EDIT: I just found a pic of the Ch2 posts, they are red and black plastic. Here's some for $5 make sure the hole where the binding posts go through is the right size, eyeballing as good as you can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizRotus Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 Binding posts? That sounds familiar. Oh yea, I remember them now, but I'm a born again Speakon convert. I'm saving for a pilgrimage to Lichtenstein. Seiously, if you're put off by soldering, ignore my proselytizing for Speakon. It was right for me when I busted a binding post on a sub. In your case, I agree about calling Parts Express tech support. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
