Richard Bushey asked: "If there is a neat fix for this besides replacing the jack, I'd be all ears! Yes, there is. Drill across the centerpin hole with a drill bit that will "just" allow a round tooth pick to be inserted w/glue. Since Diamond Toothpick and Match Company has gone to China, the diameter of drill will vary a lot. (That's what micrometers are for dude.<G>) Once the glue has set up a bit, drill out the hole where the original center pin went w/a 3/64" or #55 drill bit. Done. Repin. I've been using that trick for a lot of years. It does take a steady hand, but it's doable. When you are working with obsolete parts, it's the best answer, imo Best, Joe Joe Garrett, R.P.T.
