And of course now I find the original post - why I bought the rivets in the first place. Morzh posted about doing something similar with a newer style speaker plug on the Model 18: http://philcoradio.com/phorum/showthread.php?tid=6326

Wow! I would never have tried the rivet tool if I had read the original post again recently.

I would guess that success or failure (cracked bakelite) depends greatly on the specific characteristics (softness, grip range) of the rivets.
There's also two options for the mandrel - steel and brass. Perhaps that's the difference with Mike's experience (the brass mandrel being softer and breaking off easier)?

Maybe I should go buy a lottery ticket...
