JVC GHETTO BLASTER HELP REQ PLS

razorblaster - 2012-06-25 11:42

Right here goes, please try not to laf haha.  I put a 6.3mm jack into my rc-656 so i could connect it to my external speakers an just test it out as u do.  When taking the 6.3mm jack out it snapped and the bottom part got stuck inside, i could not believe what had just happen.  

 

I undid the back and had to de-solder the jack socket because i just could not get the broken bit out and i tried everything an i mean everything.  Once de-soldered i got two small wires and soldered them where jack socket was so the speakers worked.

 

What I need is another 6.3mm jack socket and i dont mean the type you get from maplin, they wont do the job, does anyone know where to source this part pls, i want my pride an joy back to how she was, any help appreciated guys, I know alot of u hav probably had issues with ur boxes and u know my pain, help!!!! haha, but you no summut i wouldn't be without my ghetto blaster, best thing i ever did start to collect.

can't really help you Razorblaster, but welcome, very nice to have another mancunian on board.

good luck sorting it

Guys thank u for speedy responses, I think old hifi is a good idea.

You can get the part still from a Chinese company called kunming I think but they only do bulk buys.
