It may sound unbelievable, but I: 1- No longer have a digital camera (mine was stolen out of my car), and 2- Don't have a smart phone, just my good ol' flip phone. What a luddite! Maybe I can borrow my sisters phone to take a pic, and get it into the computer. I'm surprised I can even do that!
Follow Ups:
Those are cool but are also $86 bucks per speaker. I might need a set of those or something because I still have the standard Maggie connectors on my crossover box.
If you can't get a camera then just send smoke signals.

Ouch! I hadn't priced them, and that's pretty stiff. Especially since I need posts for Tympani's, which have twice as many connectors---a set for the bass panels and the m/t panels per side---four pair of posts!I had a Cardas dealer friend (Brooks Berdan) who sold me stuff at his cost, but he's now R.I.P. I have a couple sets of the CCGR S (gold plated billet copper posts and nuts, short length) left, which have 3/4" behind the mounting surface. They'll do just fine, hopefully.
Skeepowder, your Cardas CCGR FS "Flush Mount" posts have a much shorter nut than the other Cardas models, making it perhaps still possible to fold Tympani panels with them installed together for shipping. Cool!

You can take the post screw all the way out of the post and that makes the Cardas posts about an 1/8" shorter. I held up one of my old Maggie posts for reference. It's backwards there and the red washer would count in the length.I think you are confusing the price and quantity on these. They are $34.95 for 2 "duals" or pairs. That is the 2 duals (4 posts) shown in the pic and are what each of my speakers needed. Aren't yours set up the same way?

$70 plus shipping would cover both speakers.Bobber

Well, if you put it that way Skeepowder! Actually, though the terminals are on different panels rather than side-by-side as on yours, you are correct---all that is required is one set of binding posts per bass panel and one per m/t panel, so 4 sets per speaker pair, not per speaker. Half as much! That I'm willing to do. Pics in a couple of days---I taped off my entire new music room today, painting it tomorrow. A gig on Thursday (and Saturday), so hopefully I can open up a speaker on Friday and take a look inside. Thanks for the info!
