Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

UPDATE

After considering your many helpful tips I decided I would try to enlarge the speaker cable hole in the back of the receiver since the receiver allows for three sets of speakers to be wired (A, B and C). I figure if mess up on one set, I would still have two other usable sets and all I needed was one.

Taking a tip from Caffeinator where he suggested careful drilling of the hole, I took various drill bits and slowly enlarged the whole by inserting the bits into the hole and spinning it with a pair of pliers. It took a while but I was able to get the hole to about twice the stock size and this enabled me to use my current speaker cables. If I would guess, the size of the whole would now fit 14awg wires.

Anyway, wanted to post my findings should anybody consider doing what I did.
