Again, thanks for the input. Not sure exactly what " I'm pretty fed up with the current generation not having the most elementary of skills" means.... While it's true I've never changed speaker terminal posts, and would be hesitant to do so without a clear idea of what I was doing (I'll look again, but didn't see how the cup comes off the back of the 802s...) I was building vacuum tube radios and computing "machines" on "breadboards" before some of the members of this forum were born.... So, if someone has a procedure for changing the cup/terminal on my specific speakers I'm all ears....
