replacing vintage amp speaker out puts


I have a 1960, vintage Bell tube integrated amp with very small screw speaker terminal strips.I use small wires at the screws and then wrap the other end to my speaker spade lugs which are too large for the screw terminals.Any suggestions? I have 4,8 and 16 ohm conectors and a common ground.I was going to try wiring from inside the amp to a pair of modern binding posts, but there is not much room and I would like to avoid a dangling wire effect.
Thank you, in advance

If you lived near me I would accept the challenge to help you install some after market binding posts. It may not sound much better but sure would look cool and reduce the hassle factor of hooking up what you already own.

I love both the Cardas and Vampire brands. You might measure and see if you have clearance on the "short" versions of each.

Definitely avoid the speaker versions, they have extra long reaching internal parts to accommodate the thickness of typical speaker boxes.
