Ampeg SVT-3 Pro Input Jack Nut

[Sandman1278]

So my input jack nut is missing from my ampeg svt-3 pro is missing, it must have came loose and fell off during a gig, I am having a hard time finding a replacement for it, does anyone know where I can pick something up for this? or if I am even searching for the right thing? Just so there is no confusion, I have attached an image.

You could try Fliptops.net. They carry a bunch of Ampeg spares.

Edit: When you replace the nut put a small dab of clear nail varnish to prevent it working loose again.

Contacted LOUD/Ampeg? Looks like it uses a bushing rather than a "nut".

I did not see anything on Fliptops.net, i checked for a bushing also and did not find much, I will try to see what Ampeg's customer service has to say

I suspect it is something like this Invalid Link Removed.

In the meantime while you wait for Ampeg to open again on Monday, if that bushing is anything like the bushings that are on my Sansamp character pedals, you can still plug it in and use it. It just won't look so snazzy.

Just be very careful as the jack is not stabilized, you don't want to fracture connections on the pcb.

Good point, Jon! Didn't think of that. Definitely be careful!

Yes, if you plug in your cable and it works, lash the cable down really well to the amp handle so that there is no force put on the jack when you move around. Any strain on the cable will stop where it is tied to the handle.

Yep, standard Cliff/RE-AN/Neutrik chrome nut jack same as B-string shows, with a plastic "washer" under it. No grounding through it, so no issue except mechanical stability.
