Greetings,

I have to replace the RCA jacks on my Mk III amps. I am keeping them as close to original as possible. Can anyone point me in the direction of a vendor selling original-style jacks?

Thanks!

Thanks! I was looking at those.

Is there any real difference between the plastic or phenolic base?

Phenolic is more ‘vintage correct’ as that’s what was used on the originals back in the day. It does have the ability to absorb moisture over time which some may site as a negative. In this application (input jack) I really wouldn’t worry about it. Many of the originals are working 50-some years later. Other than that, there is no real difference for this application. I say go with the one you want. You said in your first post that you wanted something as close to the original as possible; that would be phenolic. If you were asking about a phenolic circuit board I would tend to shy away, but an input jack...no biggie IMO.
