CT-17 jumpers

Swapping a CT-17 and TFM-15 into my system so I can loan my brother my HT-895 while his receiver is in the shop.

The previous owner of the CT-17 removed the jumpers for the external processor loop. Where do yall get very short RCA cords to connect components or to use in place of these jumpers? Kinda rediculous to use a 3' patch cord in place of a 1/2" jumper.

Well you could go get a nice peice of solid copper from the local hardware store, and cut and bend it in a nice loop to fit!! would'nt cost you much either!

so it only needs to connect the positive side. not both?
