This may be a dumb question but here goes. I have been thinking about buying a vintage tube amp Fischer, Scott or Sherwood.
The speaker terminal connections on these that I have seen use pan head screws (fairly small). I currently use a modestly priced set of cables with bananas. Is there a way to convert the terminals, I've seen some rebuilds where they mod the chassis and add binding posts. Is this is what is needed or is there some kind of adapter?
