A block of RCA connectors on my 8000A MkII self destructed, as they
do, and it's about time I got this sorted. Is it still possible to buy
the parts? Are they easy to fit? I only have a little experienced of
electrical work - practically none with PCBs.

Unless you're constantly unplugging them, there's no reason why they
should self destruct. But they were never designed as anything other than
a semi permanent connection - you'd need something like an XLR for mobile
etc use.

It's a recognized problem with certain Audiolab models, Dave. The
plastic they used becames brittle and they break with *normal* use :-(


Never had a problem with mine...

It depends on whether they had special parts made or used stock ones. All
I could suggest is a trawl through the various websites to see if anyone
does a similar type if it's PCB mount.

Maplin, RS, CPC and Rapid would be a good start.

Shouldn't think it would be too difficult to find something that will
fit.

I'll take a look. Never heard of Rapid before.

It seems Tag is in new hands (they are apparently going to revert the
name back to Audiolab) so I'll try them.



Messers Swift and Scott haven't come back out of the woodwork then..have
they?...
