Combine banana plugs and touch contacts

[electri-fire]

I wanted touchcontacts on my TR-505, but then I thought:

I have these banana chassis parts, sturdy and nice looking, and all metal parts covered in plastic (banana1) :

But I also have these:

They are dead cheap, rather dodgy , not machined but pressed out of metal tube I think. They are not all uniformly shaped. Sometimes the threading on the post is badly formed, nuts are flimsy as well. I have to throw away one in every ten or so. (banana2)

BUT: metal is exposed on top. These would serve very nicely as banana inputs and touchcontacts combined.
And they need less depth inside your device than the other version.
