Hello, I've got an old pair of speakers, which are good sound and want to try and connect them to an amplifier with standard phono plugs. I might use them in the spare room or might even try and hook it up to my desktop.

I have looked all over ebay for a modern phono plug cable with FEMALE old type 2 din plug for these speakers to plug into but can't find any.

Does anybody know where I could get these, or use an intermediate lead of some sort please ?
 
Sorry...to be more precise, the amplifier has standard phono and takes banana plugs which is how I use it. The old speakers have the old type 2 pin connections, they are from an old music centre but I want to try and use them. The cable is old bell wire which is part of the speaker, I want connectors for the amplifier end.
 
yes I have "proper" good cable on my main Hifi and what you say above has occurred to me today as probably the quickets way to do it. I actually could do with a speaker repair kit for these speakers, the foam is slightly fraying. I've never opened them before but I may as well go the whole hog and try to change the cable too.

Make it a "project" to keep my busy in my spare time, there is no hurry as such so its an interesting idea.
