I'm looking for a plug for a Leak Sandwhich speaker. See photo.
The two pins are actually sockets and have different diameter holes.
Anyone got one they can bear to part with?

That's a common plug/socket arrangement for Leak at the time and used on amplifiers as well as speakers. The pins are different to avoid reversal and getting the speakers out of phase. You can use two seperate plugs - I think they are 3mm and 4mm. The originals are quite rare so may not be easilly obtained.

Thanks for the info, I am using a "chocolate block" at present but would like to "tidy it up" a bit.
