NOSValves Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Those can be purchased here for just a bit less there not specifically made for anything. In fact they're a tight fit for the vintage MC binding posts. http://www.hndme.com/storeconnectorseconomy.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lost_at_c Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Dean, I've used pedestrian 10-12 ga. spades for connecting 12 ga. speaker cable to my McIntosh barrier strips. They are too wide to fit, but a little careful squeeze in a vise (sometimes in both vertical and horizontal directions) and they will fit. Works also with Klipsch barrier strips. There are better quality connectiors out there too. There are Cardas spades available for about 20 bucks a pair - model CCMS S. There are also AudioQuest spades for about 2 bucks a pair - models 1010/G (10 ga. and gold) and 1410/G (14 ga. and gold). They are also available in silver as 1010/S and 1410/S. The Cardas website (www.cardas.com) has a search capability that works, and the AudioQuest spades can be found on www.audioquest.com in Speaker Cables -> Connectors. Scroll to the bottom. The AudioQuest site lists the spades as 3/16". Hope this helps, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Bell Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 Dean, they're a quarter inch (outside to outside) for the older stuff. I have ordered 1/4" spade lugs and had them sent measuring 1/4" on the INSIDE. That's too large for older McIntosh stuff. Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Klappenberger Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 Dean, On the Mc50 and Mc250 they are #6-32. Al K. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
