Interesting, [user]ptero[/user].
So I just had to open mine up to have a peek:
The one on the left without ground is purely for historical purposes, especially since it has a half stage plug on the other end.
Ahh, screw terminals would certainly help things! I'll try to get a picture up of ours.
Shiben, You are correct, elec tape can work fine, Although I prefer not depending on any kind of tape for securing things like this in the air. This stems partly from our long runs and seeing failures of tape based rigging over the years.
I will admit, my problem may be partly due to using the cheaper tapes. With our budgets (very small) I do not get the spendy stuff. In time it'll loosen and gum up whatever it touches. The security ends up compromised and it gets to be a sticky mess. I am guessing that even with a better product, our long runs would still make it not a good choice for us (boy, THAT was clumsy!).
When we need to secure mated plugs from becoming unplugged, the choice is always gaff, usually along one face. This normally is done for any lines on the floor, not often in the air.
