[TenTec] Hercules amp power connector

[oldlongbeard at yahoo.com]

Mike,
Those connectors do not age well. Especially on the amp, with potential high currents, and resultant V drops, it has long been suggested to replace them with something better. Pick your poison on what to use. I think I would mount a terminal block to the rear, with short wires to it, using screw terminals for all connections, but that's just my preference.
Kind regards,

 Still trying to wire up a supply for the Hercules III here and can't find a
power connector to go from the supply to the amp. I thought it was a MOLEX,
but was just told it's not, it's supposed to be a Amp Mate n loc.

If anyone knows for sure and has the male side (whichever is correct),
please let me know, That's all (at the moment) that's keeping me from
powering up the amp.
