Does anyone happen to have or know where I might be able to aquire three AM Aerial/Earth Connectors found on old European Radio Turners? They split open to allow you to connect the radio wires to the pins. The pins themselves come in two different versions.

here is a pic of it when 'open'

You can use banana jacks for that. They're not two wide like the Euro jobs though.

thanks for the tip, but I am hopping to stay original to restore than to modify.

One solution is to solder metal pins with the right thickness to the wires and just push them into the holes. If nothing else, itīs a good temporery solution until you find the proper connectors. They are just about impossible to get even in europe, and the similar looking VHF and UHF TV connectors isnīt even worth asking about.
