New Marantz 2325 Speaker Terminal Conversion Plates (Banana Plugs)

Description

Welcome to The Speaker Port!
Up for a sale is a set of replacement speaker terminal plates for the Marantz 2325 vintage stereo receiver. This will allow you to replace the original spring speaker terminals with more modern banana plug terminals for both the A and B outputs. The terminals used are skinnier than normal uniformly spaced terminals due to the limited space of the speaker terminal plate opening. It does allow for the use of individually terminated male banana plug tips for your speaker wires.  It also allows for bare wire attachment (14g max). This conversion kit
improves the look and wiring options for your 2325. Once installed, it really looks spectacular and completely stock.
The panel is constructed from PLA material using 3D Printing technology. It is rigid and is able to withstand the abuse that the terminals can experience.  You can re-purpose your original mounting hardware and can either solder the internal speaker wires directly to the back of the terminals (recommended) or use ring tip terminals.
NOTE: Installation of this part does require certain skills and competency using tools and a soldering iron.
If you are not comfortable doing this work yourself, take it to a electronics shop and they should be able to do the work for you.  We have developed this item on an actual 2325 and guarantee that it will work. The Marantz 2325 is a vintage piece of equipment and as a result, you accept full responsibility/liability for the work required to install these parts in your system.
Installation Instructions
You will need some basic tools/materials, such as a Philips screw driver, wire cutters/strippers, soldering iron/solder. Remove the top cover of the receiver. Loosen the back panel of the unit so that you can get more room to work behind the speaker terminals and make removing/installing the old/new terminals easier.  Remove the screws/nuts holding on the existing speaker terminals.  Put these aside as you will re-use them to install the new plate.
Pull back the original terminals and i
nstall the new terminal plates. Once it is installed, snip off one wire at a time from the original terminals and solder them to the back screw posts of the new one.
Keep the orientation exactly as it was with the originals. Note: you can chose to put ring terminals on the ends of the internal wiring and attach them to the plate using the extra nut provided.  For best connectivity, we recommend soldering the wires in. Once everything is in place, re-assemble the unit and you are good to go!
WARNING: DO NOT overheat the back end terminals.
Nothing more than a normal 40W soldering iron should be used and even so, make sure you are proficient in the right procedure for soldering wires onto terminals such as these.
If the screw terminals gets too hot, it could melt the plate of the outside terminal spacers and/or warp the screw down wire nuts.
