So long story short, last summer I tripped over a headphone cable, destroying both the headphone plug, cable, and the amp's jack. I was able to repair everything involved in the crash, using some krazy glue and baking soda to get the plastic housing back together. As you can see in the pics, the snap happened right on the barrel where the threading is, and on this amp it goes through a hole on the chassis and is held in place with a hex nut on the other side so the board and HP jack are secure.
Unfortunately, I'm cursed, and (a guest) recently tripped over my cable, snapping the jack again, or at least it's loose and I know what it probably looks like if I were to open it up. Right now I lose a channel if the plug isn't in right.
Is there any way to replace this part (JK601) and get something sturdy in there? It's soldered to the board and its height matches the chassis hole so I'm concerned I'm SOL
before (and probably how it looks today):
