Hi everyone,

I have an old National Panasonic media centre that has a tape player, turntable and radio. I bought two replacement speakers for it and threw the old speakers that came with it out. The problem though is that I left one of the connectors on the speaker. Now I'm not even sure what name this connector goes by.

Could anyone help me out and identify it?

Looks a bespoke one for the system you have bought. Nothing special about it though, you could probably open up the unit and replace it with something standard like phono socket

I had a Phillips radio/cassette in 1988 that had four of them. They took it in turns to fall out on a regular basis.
