Speaker binding posts with plastic covers


My Krell amplifier has speaker binding posts with the clear plastic covers. Apparently these are for EU safety requirements. I want to use spade connectors and have no idea how to open these covers. I’ve wrestled with them but they don’t budge. I don’t even know whether they unscrew or pull out or whether there is some other method at play. Does anyone have experience with these?

yes, you show a type, like mine and most, that does unscrew, and perhaps all the way out is a possibility, that would be the definition of dumb luck.

The link OP posted,

 

perhaps he just thought they all looked/worked the same, so he just posted that one, it just happened to be the rare one that does not unscrew.

IF this goes on any longer, we will need a photo I think.

The channel-lock pliers have set the binding posts free, hallelujah hallelujah! Thanks, guys!

Yes, you're right, I posted that photo of the 0765 because I thought it looked close enough. The amp literature doesn't say whether that is the exact connector Krell uses.
