    288C terminal posts

    Anyone know of a source for replacement terminal posts for an Altec 288C driver?

    Thanks!

    Hi gek,

    Try this link to Hand Tightened Metal Binding Posts by HH Smith ( Abbatron ).

    "B" is similar ( if not identical ) to the posts found on the smaller Altec drivers ( & it might be the same for the 288 series / though I don't know ).





    - As far as I can tell, Abbatron/HHSmith are about the only game in town for replacement posts of either, the spring loaded or hand tightened varietals.

    - You'll need to find a retailer who sells these parts ( such as Mouser or Digikey ).
    - You may need to have a parts retailer special order these for you .

    Another manufacturer of excellent quality binding posts is Eby Company. We use a military grade post built by Eby in our Cogent drivers. Again, the task would be to find a distributor who will sell in small quantities.
