I need to replace the female socket on my 38-116. I can't find anything that fits. I would replace the male plug on the speaker if I could find a pair of five pin plugs that i could attach the male end to the speaker frame like the old one. any thoughts?  Thanks   Frank

Rich, the riveted disk is in bad shape. If I can't find a good used socket I will take your advice.  Thank you, Frank
