These are about 1/2" square when displayed, and it's hard to tell what they actually depict.
I **DO** seem to remember seeing audio plugs like this on televisions when I was fixing them in high school, however. > The plug above the phonograph plug (the one with the white cable) > looks like it has 5 input pins: > > http://cwelug.org/~rwcitek/stereo/phono.plugs.jpeg > > The Left/Right Stereo plugs look like they only have two input pins: > > http://cwelug.org/~rwcitek/stereo/stereo.plugs.jpeg > If these ARE inputs, .. you should be able to get two RCA patch cords with your 'Y' adapter at Radio Shack (I might have some in the junk bin if you would prefer to play with them). > Anyone know what these plugs are called? > Actually, it doesn't make any difference. Here's a test: Take two paper clips, unfold them once, then squeeze the small end enough to fit into each slot on the plug. Straighten the other side out, and leave them about 1/4" apart. Turn on the stereo, leave the volume down pretty low, and then select the inputs you think belong to these plugs. Take a 3rd paper clip and quickly rub it across the ends of the other two - you should hear a 'snap crackle pop' from the speakers (remember, leave the volume down). If this works, these probably ARE inputs you can use! If so, all you need to do is pick up a set of panel-mount RCA jacks at Radio Shack and bring the unit by the shop here - I would be happy to install them in parallel with your 'old-style' inputs (or in place of should you wish). You MAY be able to find plugs like those, but you would then have to install them on cables instead of RCA plugs. The better long term solution would be to install RCA jacks on the back panel.
