Default Din speaker sockets / adaptors.

I have loads of DIN speaker plugs with screw-terminal connections for the
leads. However I find these are a pest because the connections come loose
over the years. So I tend to prefer to use plugs I can solder the leads
onto.

I'm just getting one of my old Armstrong 626s refurbished/tweaked, so want
to make up four din speaker plug to binding post adaptors. But I only have
a couple of solderable din speaker plugs - and these will be ones that I've
already used.

So far as I can tell, the screw-terminal ones are from CPC. I can't find a
solderable alternative there or when I look on the Maplin website. And I
stopped bothering with Maplin some years ago because they

A) never sent a new catalogue or even a reminder when one was out.

B) expect you to pay for their catalogue when CPC don't. And CPC cover far
more items.

So anyone know if Maplin do this, and the part number, etc? Failing that,
another source?

N.B. I don't use Ebay or Amazon. Prefer companies established in the UK I
can buy from via post, etc.

N.B. 2 I still have plenty of DIN signal plugs, leads, etc. No problems
there. :-)
