There is an issue using a replacement banana plug. There is very little clearance between the stud of the new banana plug and the choke that sits over it. Even cutting the stud would be problematic.
I have replacement banana plugs and attempted to "deflower" it. I tried twice and on both attempts I only got 3 of the 4 petals removed. As careful as I was, the ones that broke off had a pretty good zing to them as they flew off. Fortunately, I did have eye protection on.
After getting the petals out of the replacement jack, I tried heating the tip of the center part in the hopes the petal assembly would fall off. Of course if it didn't.... It looks to be a compression fit to the nub of the tip of the center part.
It does fit onto the broken dynamotor assembly jack, but is loose as would be expected. I'm wondering if installing the dynamotor plate would be enough of a compression fit to make it work?
I'd like to hear what Dave has to say once he returns from his "man cave" as he's addressed this issue before.
