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

Hi Gerhard,
I used the following banana plugs:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002907717547.html
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 Gerhard,
Yes - these look good but the price is much higher than what I paid. As I
no longer work, modifying the cheap Chinese banana plugs was viable. If you
still work and are time limited then the Pomona plugs may be the better
option. It may be best to get a small number first to try before committing
to a larger order.
Best regards
Tom

Hi Gerhard,
The Farnell plugs seem to be 2 mm not 0.1".
I suspect the Pomona plugs you mentioned earlier will be a better fit.
You need at least 100 leads which means at least 200 plugs.
I would get samples of both types before committing to a larger purchase.
Best regards
Tom
