686 binding posts

Hey girls and boys,
I've purchased some 686's:D! and I've already got a problem.. How do normal banana plugs fit? The holes are way to big it seems, and the bananas can't go any deep because there's a plastic cap that stops them. I've obviously tried to remove them but they won't go. Nothing is specified in the manual, and I'm sure the dealer I got them from was using bananas.
I'll tell you all about them and the rest of my system soon if you like:)
In the mean time, I need you. Unless it's quicker to ask my dealer tomorrow haha
Cheers

(I will at long last be able keep them spinning ahhhhhhh:):):))

In the past when I have owned speakers and int amps designed or manufactured in England there were always plastic inserts in the bananas to meet safety requirements. I remember I had to find something sharp and thin to pry the inserts out of the CA 640A. A strong straight pin or anything pointed to wedge under the top of the cap and pry out.

Please let us know what you think about them.

You were exactly right John, I used my mini screw driver and they came off! Thanks!!!
Off to listening now! I'm overjoyed as you can see
