Hi Fi Delirium Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 I have no idea of the correct name for these things. Binding post bridging plates? Anyway, picked up these TDL Nucleus 3 small floorstanders on the weekend for $70 and discovered 2 binding posts snapped off the back. These things sound amazing and a screaming bargain at this price. Original retail around $500. They are transmission-line speakers. Apparently these were made in England by TDL Electronics just before the brand name was taken by Audio Partnership and production moved offshore to China. Does anyone know where I can find the bridging plates? I've looked on eBay and there seem to be a few cheapies complete with terminal cup and posts but no idea if size will match up. I can buy binding posts separately OK but can't seem to find anywhere that sells the bridging plates. The entire length is 5cm and the longest straight section before the bends is 3cm. I'm assuming these are all different sizes depending on manufacturer.

Guest DarkNark Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 Probably easier to replace the broken binding posts and installing speaker jumper wires rather than trying to find specific bridging plates.
mjs Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 This from Altronics might be compatible http://www.altronics.com.au/p/p2019-4-way-speaker-terminal-binding-post-gold-rect./
Janjuggler Posted May 28, 2018 Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) HI, You will need to replace the broken binding posts by something like @mjs and @DarkNark has suggested, and all you need to use is a piece of speaker wire between the terminals, works better than the "Z" shaped plates.

Hi Fi Delirium Posted May 28, 2018 Author Posted May 28, 2018 Many thanks for the advice. Will just replace binding posts and go with jumper leads then.
