Yamaha CA-1000 Gold RCA upgrade

[Yamaha5000]

This is the rear RCA Panel for a CA-1000, I would like to upgrade the RCA connectors to Gold. I am seeking ideas for custom PCB design to accommodate this.

Wouldn't waste my time with a custom PCB design, what would be gained? Plenty of parts units if the PCB is damaged beyound repair.
The RCA sockets can become tarnished, received two units from Japan, sea air? badly tarnished. While gold is not a great conductor it's better than some. Replace the sockets if you must but only if badly tarnished, need to get the right footprint.

That is the issue, unable to locate the right footprint.
A modified design for the board would allow many more options.

I assume you have heard of the seven phases of a project:


1. Wild enthusiasm

2. Disillusionment

3. Confusion

4. Panic

5. Search for the guilty

6. Punishment of the innocent

7. Promotion of non-participants
