    I had the same problem with the rca on the tc but all my other machines were ok. I found if you squash the end of your cord connection with a pair of pliers so it is slightly oval it makes a tighter fit

    Yeah I did that, I even put a bead of solder on the lip of the plug on the RCA cable. Nothing has worked so I use a rubberband around the body to hold it on, by feeding a loop of the cable through the band. It isn't pretty but it works. I have a new end to solder on that has cuts to crimp in for a tighter fit. If it still gives me issue, I am going to copper plate it.

    I acutally think on mine it was the internal hole that the peg goes into was too big.

    I think so too, no way of fixing that easily. Aside from replacing it. I do have the right security key to open up the back somewhere. I could see what kind of plug it has and order a new one.

    Yep this is the way to go! I got about 6 Rca cords knocking about here and on some machines the fitted snug on others a bit loose. I just very slightly pinched the end so it was slightly out of shape. Absolutely no chance of em slipping off. In fact on a few of em ya have to fight with it! These are just Radio shack 1's too! so no Gold plating etc!
    Its the voices!... They made me do it!

    If you can't be bothered to source the parts to make your own, Eikon's gold plated RCA lead grips everything I've tried it with and so far has survived me rolling over it repeatedly.
    Play nice now people or your naughty posts will go in the Shit Box!

    I got an opportunity to try your method tonight... thanks for sharing this, I like it WAY better than taping the cover to the rca itself. Its little tips like this that help save time and energy and I appreciate it!!

    Off topic here ,but I like your bottle racks. I could do with something nice & tidy like that.
