I would like to find some speaker terminals/adapters for a Pioneer SX-727 receiver. Anybody have any laying around or have a non-working vintage Pioneer with some of the terminals in it? More than one pair would be great, but a pair would do for now.

    Do you mean terminal strip adapters? to use regular speaker wire?

    This is a trick offering from Prelude Audio.

    Cardas has barrier strip width spades for unterminated cables.

    You can also search for "forks" on eBay or McIntosh on Audiogon.

    No, you need paddle spades but I'm not sure what size. You'll have to measure. You might get smaller spades to work but the paddles are stronger. Cardas makes them as well.

    It's an antenna for radio reception.It's very common in gear of that era....and older.

    Just measure the length of the slits or distance between?

    That's what I thought. Why does it have this and screw terminals for antenna (AM, 300ohm balanced FM and 75ohm unbal FM)?

    Can I use the terminals instead or will it require the large antenna too?

    Yes, length. Either, it allows you to use an external antenna array.

    Measures the slits best I could, and here's what they appear to be:

    Horizontals 7/32"
    Verticals 5/16"

    Anybody have any they're willing to let go of?
