The plugs that fit that rear connector are unobtainium, unless you make your 
own from small banana plugs and casting resin. Been there, done that, got 
the T-shirt.

BTW, there is a fellow selling packages of the correct-sized banana plugs on 
eBay: 10 for $17.00...which seems awfully high to me, but...

I use any of a number of bases taken from original dynamotors (which were 
all given to me, taken from dynamotors in the 1970s) as "connectors" for my 
external power supplies.
