eBay lists the binding post assembly for 99 dollars. I see why you didn't want to pay it.

Subject: [hp_agilent_equipment] Binding post repair?
About a month ago I got a 3456A that had a few issues (test faults 4 and 7) including a really bent guard binding post. Trouble shooting the test errors had me going in circles, so I decided to look at the post issue. I knew from experience that just trying to bend it back was going to snap it off, but I just had to try anyway, and.... snap there it was in my hand. While the replacement assemblies with 5 binding posts are available, there is no way I'm going to pay for one! I'm thinking about drilling out the balance of the post and fitting a new insulated post in the hole. It doesn't even have to to be a screw post, just a banana jack would do. Anyone had to do this before? Oh, lest I forget, I was trying to remove the PCB behind the connector, but the center snap post wouldn't release, so I grabbed it with a channel lock and gave it a yank. Out it came, but the nice thing was that after I reinstalled it, and powered up the unit (thinking I probably made things worse!) it passed the tests and seems to be working fine. Previously, it did nothing but show "OL" on all functions. -Dave
