Mike, Yes, I guess a connector there would be handy, but unless the wires are put through the holes on the speaker, it is an easy task to unsolder them. Just because the holes are on the lugs does not mean they have to be used, just lay the wire over the speaker lug and apply solder.
For quick repairs to the KPA100 board, it is not even necessary to unsolder the speaker wire if one is careful The board can be removed and placed upside-down on the heat sink without removing the speaker wire, I have done that many times. For extensive work on the KPA100 board, I do unsolder the speaker wires. 73, Don W3FPR Mike Markowski wrote: > Don, > > I've had to remove the heat sink from the KPA100 a handful of times, and as I > recall (I'm at work without my little K2 notebook!) it required unsoldering > the > speaker.
