I'm hoping someone can help me identify (and thus hopefully find a
replacement for) a plug used inside an aged hi fi loudspeaker.


Yes, no name I ever remember.


I'd like to replace it with a new plug. But I can't even look for
one, because I don't know what this type of plug/socket is called


You may be able to solder wires to a couple of split pins of the right
size to make a connection.


Heat shrink could ID and insulate them.


They're easy enough to repair or re-use.

Carefully bend back the lugs on the cover and remove. The pins are hollow
and the wires soldered to the inside. The base is fibre and not easily
damaged by the heat of an iron - unlike many modern plugs.
