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. :-)

Thing is that DIN speaker plugs have luckily died out - although most of
the others are still easily available.

And like it or not, Ebay is just the sort of place where someone with a
small stock of them remaining would sell them. Such small companies do
sometimes advise who they are too - so not necessarily some far east no
name.
