Bizzy Bee audio has a vintage adapter on his web page that is basically a small spade soldered to a binding post. If you have some soldering skills you can make similar from rat shack parts. TG

Adapting Oversized Spades W/o Reterminating
This is my first foray back into audio in a few years. I dusted off the Crosby Quads, had my Classic 60 refreshed, and had the TT/cartridge/arm etc. gone over and set up by a pro.
Needed to change speaker cable and had a friend ship me some VdH Revelation Hybrid which sports some really big spade lug terminations- done at the factory. Unforetunately, they are way oversized for the old-school narrow barrier strip terminal on the Classic 60. I'd hate to reterminate the cables since they were presumably well done at the factory, and other than having the barrier strips at the amp changed out for something a little more 'macho,' I wondering if there is, or i could have fabricated, a small adapter out of some high quality conductive material, ie at the bottom, a narrow spade that will fit the amp termination, which at the top, opens into a larger 'female' into which I can insert the cable spade.
Any thoughts (and excuse all intended double entendre). BTW, it is nice to be back to listening- i had forgotten how good this can be....
