Help: Replacing 1/4" Input on a GK Crossover

[Nightlyraider]

I've tried emailing GK and haven't received any response, so I'm wondering if anyone has done this before themselves.

Someone managed to break the plastic bit that makes up the 1/4" jack soldered directly to the PCB crossover.

Can I expect something like [Invalid or Expired Link Removed] to fit the routed PCB conductor/holes?

Or else if anyone has a direct contact for getting the real part again from GK?

The part in your link is not a PCB mount part. Neutrik is a good choice, in terms of brand - very high quality; so maybe check if they make a PCB mount variant.

I'm an electronics tech and I change out things like this all the time. Sometimes it's tricky to find a replacement part that's just the right fit. If you can desolder it from the board then you could maybe get some better measurements and find an exact fit.

One option might be to use a panel-mount Switchcraft; I think the model is M112B; and just solder 2 wires from the jack to the circuit board.

Hope that helps.
