Brown Electronic Laboratory amplifer 1001 MV

thanks to all who helped with this.  The problem is that the connections from inside the amp into the RCA female plug was inserted way into the plug and inhibits the insertion of a standard RCA plug.  So am replacing the plugs.  Turns out not to be a major issue and even I can do that level of soldering.  the question of why the plugs were constructed as they are is unanswered. time to move on.

Thanks to all

Nice that you have the skills to replace them.

Somebody like me probably installed the old ones.

Brooks Berdan Audio in Monrovia, California has done repairs to BEL Amps in the past. A friend of mine took his BEL amps to be repaired. 

Tom at Brooks Berdan retired. I don't believe they offer amp repairs anymore.
