50's Style Speaker Connects,,,

Post by zozoe »

Hi & hope all is well. Kindly check my pic and tell me how to easily run +/-- cables from these ancient speaker connectors. I did see a picture from someone who dangled wires, but I lost it & can't find it, but still it didn't differentiate + from -- I'd rather run & dangle wires than start drilling & installing 1/4" jack's. Do I simply open it up & check for hot & ground, & run wires?

Those are the same type of connectors used on Hammond organs, call up the B3 guys or go to there site, as they can help you out.

You can find these on ebay if you try "6 pin tube plug" or look for "Leslie organ plug." Examples:

Also available and not a difficult Google search:

You can purchase the plug and the shell here:
