New Pioneer SA-9500 II Speaker Terminal Conversion (Banana Plugs)

Welcome
to The Speaker Port!

Up for a sale is a replacement fitted speaker terminal plate for
the Pioneer SA-9500 II vintage stereo integrated amplifier. This will allow you to replace the original spring loaded push down speaker terminals with modern uniform spaced banana plug terminals for both the A and B outputs. These new terminals allow for the use of individually terminated male banana plug tips or uniform spaced bracketed plugs for your speaker wires.  It allows for bare wire attachment down to 10 gauge). This conversion plate improves the look and wiring options for your SA-9500 II. Once installed, it really looks spectacular and completely stock.  The panel is constructed from PLA material
using 3D Printing technology. It is rigid and is able to withstand the
abuse that the terminals can experience.  You can re-purpose your original mounting hardware and can either solder the internal speaker wires directly to the back of the terminals (recommended) or use ring tip terminals. 

NOTE: Installation of this part does require
certain skills and competency using tools and a soldering iron.  If you are not comfortable doing this work
yourself, take it to a electronics shop and they should be able to do the
work for you.  We have developed this item on an actual SA-9500 II and guarantee that it will work. 

Installation
Notes

• You will need some basic tools/materials, such as a Philips
  screw driver, wire cutters/strippers, soldering iron/solder. These items are NOT included.
• There is plenty of slack in the existing internal speaker wires to re-attach to the new plate, but still snip off the wires as close to the plate terminal as possible to make sure you don’t cut yourself short. 
• Keep the wiring orientation exactly as
  it was with the originals. (Take a picture of your existing wires for reference.  
• For best connectivity, we recommend soldering the wires to the tips of the new terminals. WARNING: DO NOT overheat the back end terminals.  Nothing more than a normal 40W soldering iron should be used and even so, make sure you are proficient in the right procedure for soldering wires onto terminals such as these.  If the screw terminals gets too hot, it could
  melt the plate and/or bushings of the terminals.

The Pioneer SA-9500 II, like any other vintage audio product, contains aged components and wiring.  As a result, you need to take care while working on one. It is not uncommon for parts or wires to crack, snap, or break off while trying to manipulate them after 30+ years of being worked and exposed to many different temperatures and conditions.  As a result, The Speaker Port is not responsible for any damage or harm of any kind that may occur to the product, you or anyone else while trying to install this part.

General Information

Who are we?

Founded in 2016, The
Speaker Port is a small, independently owned/operated business based in the
suburbs of Chicago, IL.  I started out in repairing/restoring vintage
audio speakers and stereo systems but within the first year, took on both home
and professional grade systems (PA systems, guitar amps, etc).  I
work on all components types (receivers, turntables, tape decks, power amps,
etc.), makes and models. I hold a degree in Electrical Engineering but spent
the better part of my 22 year professional career in Information Technology.
Through it all was a deep love for music and music reproduction. Recently, I
have established relationships with a number of music stores and studios
servicing their own as well as 3^rd party customer equipment. I
now also offer my own line based on reproducing hard to find, vintage parts
using 3D CAD design and printing technology.  As we continue to
growth, I look forward to being able to provide top shelf Customer services and
well as products to go with it.

Pricing

If you have ever sold
anything on eBay, you know that for everything you sell, eBay takes a very
steep cut from you sale. EBay also takes money from the cost of shipping too.
Annual costs associated with eBay’s make it even worse. On top of that, add on
the percentage PayPal wants and as a result…you just lost 10-15% of you overall
sale price. In order to sell products, you need to price competitively and
fairly.  In addition, we have families to feed so we cannot afford to
lose money or break even.  Please consider this when evaluating the
price we set.  

Shipping

• All paid for items typically ship within 1 business
  day, however, we have a 3 day handling time in the event that an
  unforeseen issue comes up that prevents us from being able to ship
  immediately (such as weather related issues.)
• Any item we charge shipping costs for are fairly priced
  based.  They take into consideration the materials necessary to
  secure/protect your item in transit. We use new boxes and packing when
  possible.  The total cost of shipping must take into account our
  costs for these materials, the actual shipping cost charged by USPS or
  FedEx as well as the percentage eBay takes from us for
  shipping.  We will never charge ridiculous, overprices
  shipping charges for any reason. 
• As noted above, any listing we have that comes with
  ‘Free Shipping’ does not mean there is no cost associated with shipping
  the product.  Most, if not all of our “Free Shipping” items are
  shipped USPS First Class (where we can predict the cost to any location
  domestically). On average, our cost to ship such items range from
  $3-$4.  Please keep this in mind when evaluating the cost of our
  product to others.
• Unless otherwise specified in the listing, we do not
  insure any item in transit (beyond whatever the shipping provides as
  default…if any) nor do we add addition features such as signature
  requirement.  If you want an item shipping with such additional
  features, it is your responsibility to ask for it and there will be additional
  costs associated with them.
• If an item offered to ship internationally, then it
  will be enabled in the listing via the eBay Global Shipping Program. Note:
  We do not have any control on what eBay GS charges for international
  shipping so please keep that in mind.  eBay GS is a higher cost
  means of shipping but due to buyer fraud problems, we have had little
  choice but to go this route to eliminate claims of users not receiving
  items.

Warranty and/or product
guarantee 

• Unless specifically statement in the list, there is no
  warranty or guarantee of any kid associated with the item you are buying.
  We have no way of knowing how much use it had before coming into our
  possession.  Please consider
  this before buying.
• Any used/refurbished/restored item we sell is tested
  and verified to be in working condition before we list/sell the item.  Any issues or problems will be clearly
  stated in the listing. This includes physical, electrical or operational
  condition. Regarding physical condition, we provide detailed pictures in
  our listing so please pay attention to them.  We will not be
  describing every scratch/scuff/ding that may exist. Note: any statements
  made about things like sound or picture quality or value are completely
  the opinion of The Speaker Port and in no way represent a guarantee or
  statement of fact.
• For any NEW, 3^rd party products that are still sealed in their
  original OEM packaging are assumed to be in perfect working
  condition.  We will not open these packages to test them or
  evaluate their contents for any reason. The Speaker Port assumes no
  responsibility for the operational condition of such items and are offered
  “as-is”.

Fraud Prevention

Unfortunately, there are
folks out there that try to commit fraud/steal products from us.  As
a result, The Speaker Port had to make some tough choices about how we do
business on eBay. Once such measure is using the eBay Global Shipping service
for international purchases.  This eliminates buyer claims that they
never received an item.  They get away with this because of the lack
of end-to-end tracking with cheaper shipping services.  The Speaker
Port has also had to resort to photo documenting and UV tagging (marking)
products in various ways to prevent ‘bait and switch’ situations or from buyers
who ‘harvest’ internal parts for their own use and claiming that the item does
not work.  We have zero tolerance for this.
