Default 90 and 1.5 volt connectors

Hi
I hope this might be useful to others
I wanted to power my collection of valve portables using a battery eliminator
Problem I had was how to connect it easily
Ideally I wanted to source a couple of old batteries to get the female connectors out of them .to date I have not sourced any
So I have used the red bullett connectors as used on cars
It fits perfectly the large terminal on the LT connector but too large for the others .With I bit of modification I manages to fold over the connector so it's a nice snug fit on the pins with plenty of sprung to grip
You could of course use the same principle for other round pins such as speaker connections etc
Just need to mark the neg and away we go
The insulation is pretty thick but if you want piece of mind you could always wrap insulation tape around the red plastic
Cheers Pete
