Yamaha CR2020 line in jacks

[oldvinyldude]

I am looking for a source for replacement RCA input jacks for my CR2020. I have searched and found some, but their mounting lugs are not compatible with the originals. I have one pictured-it makes intermittent contact. I am open to any method that can make the existing one functional, if replacements are no longer available.
Thanks,

Paul

You might want to try an ebay search for vintage Yamaha stereo parts. I found this one, and it looks like it's compatible:

Thanks for the suggestion-but they do not have the same\correct mounting arrangement. I do see another listing for a set of the whole jack panel, which includes the single pair I need-might be the route to go.

I found that one of the 'fingers' of the jack was broken-it can be pulled out, so no wonder it was intermittent.

I have repaired Yamaha RCA jacks that were intermittent by using a small dental pick to bend the internal "ears" of the contact inward. They reside in slots on both sides of the black plastic in the middle of the jack, and are quite stiff, so it takes a rather stiff sharp tool to bend them. The other thing to look at is if the outer shell tabs in the back have broken or bent so they don't contact the terminal part of the jack.

Thanks for the tip, about the tips-lol.


Unfortunately, my intermittent jack had a broken tip-explaining the intermittent symptom. I went ahead and ordered a used Yamaha replacement.
