Headphone socket part availability

Does anyone know where I can find a 3.5mm headphone socket for an Aiwa CS-J1 walkman. The socket doesn't look like anything out of usual, 3 way, non-switching, with the pins laid out in a zig-zag fashion. If anyone has the name of a supplier in the UK that would be easiest!

Hmm, interesting request. Just out of interest, how do you know it's faulty or is it visably broken?

Hi Agent,

Its missing the metal circular ring, that accurately positions the plug on to the contacts. Luckily I can get both channels to work by moving the 'phones plug around a bit, so I can tell there's no problem with the amplifiers. It also needs a new belt (play works but wind in both directions is very slow & intermittent) and some of of the tiny electrolytic caps are leaking, so I thought I would fix it up all at once before putting it all back together.
