Hi Gerhard,
I used the following banana plugs:

Please note that only about 30% of the plugs I received were a good fit.
The rest I had to modify.
I had to remove the barrel shaped contact spring and compress it carefully
to open it up to make good contact with the sockets.
I also soldered the barrel shaped contact spring onto the plug body. It is
a lot of work to make the patch cables with plugs which don't quite fit,
but with the modification the result is now neat and usable.
I couldn't find anything else with a better fit. The original 0.1" taper
pins are "unobtainium".
Regards
Tom

Hi,
I also have an H500 waiting for restoration.
Maybe anyone can give better winfos about the plugs/connectors of the
patch cables.
I didn't have any, I have to make new.
With best regards
Gerhard
