Bingo!! Thanks for that! I had a quick look and found this : http://www.pedalpartsplus.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Store_Code=PPP&Product_Code=6007&Category_Code=JAC Its a mechanical switch so when jack is inserted it moves contacts to other cable. I presume this is similar to what you described. I just got to figure out how mount that into 6 or 12mm ply now. ??? For anyone else who stumbles upon this thread the term to google is "switching jack" |

Good to know! It's funny. Half the time, I end up in this same situation, i know what I need and I know someone makes them, but I have no idea what the "industry term" for it is! |

It seems cheap enough it couldn't hurt to try though. Also judging from the name of the site (pedal parts plus) that jack is probably for a 1/4" plug as it's used more for the guitar/audio/amp side of things. I may be wrong on that but I think most of the plugs for mp3 players/phones/etc are 1/8" plugs. I did find this one one Radio Shack's site. It's closed-circuit and accepts 1/8" plugs. It's made to mount on a panel so that might make it easier to mount on your juke. You can probably find the one's made to mount to a board slightly cheaper. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103451&CAWELAID=107594627 |

Thats ideal for what I need. Only problem I have is finding something similar that will ship to Ireland. (radioshack dont) Think I'm going to have to go with this: http://ie.farnell.com/schurter/4802-2300/socket-3-5mm-jack-panel-3pole/dp/143336 and just mount it to a strip of metal on the inside of the wood. Then fix metal to timber and cut a hole for jack. Won't look great but no choice. Thanks again for help! |
