how badly did you bend them? If it's not too bad you can attempt to straighten the prongs by slipping the banana into a cylinder of only slightly larger diameter,then apply reasonable torque in the opposite direction. I am picturing a nut driver with a hollow tube stem. At this point there's nothing to lose if you're gonna repair them anyway.
Bent Banana Plug
I recently discovered that I have a couple of bent banana plugs. I evidently bent them moving my speakers. I know now I should remove the cables before moving the speakers. I'll just chalk this one up to "live and learn".
Is there any way to carefully straighten them? I guess I need to have them replaced. can I let my local guy do it or do I need to send them back to the manufacturer. Does it in any way affect their value if I use someone local? And no, they don't screw off......I did have enough sense to check that. They are Acoustic Zen cables BTW.
