Ibanez SW65 problems!

I have a small but versatile combo in my amp collection, a 12" 65w Ibanez SW65 wedge.
It´s not very special, but I like it and use it at a lot of small indoor gigs.
I need to change the input jack and the blue LED diode in the overload protection circuit.
I can´t find these in any parts list available from Sweden, and they seem to be a bit special.
Does anybody have a part list including these or know where I can find one?

NB! It is the old SW65, not the newer SWX65.

The jack is almost certainly PCB mount, so you will want the exact replacement. The LED may not be the problem or only problem with the limiter circuit.

When replacing the jack, be careful that you don’t destroy the PCB in the process. Yes, it happens all the time.

Yes, it is PCB.
I have already replaced it with a Neutrik jack that is a bit lower and where I had to shift from close to open at one side.
It´s a bit wiggely, so I would really prefere the right one.
The diode got damaged earlier when I did some work, I have managed to carve it out 1mm so I could sold new legs to it.
Both these components seem to be at bit special for Ibanez, I can´t find them at the usual suppliers.
Hence my question for a Ibanez parts list. :)

That’s exactly why I mentioned using exact parts and not creating additional damage in my earlier post, I see this all the time.

And that's is also exactly why I'm trying to get those exact parts. Are you able to help me with that?

No because I don't know the amp. An experienced, qualified service tech should be able to determine the correct part with a little work AND the necessary measurements.

Well, I'll keep trying to find the parts then.
Thanks for the lecture. 😊

It's not a "lecture"... YOU asked a question and I provided answers and ACCURATE information about how to get it resolved as well as how to avoid the problems that apparently you had already created (unknown to me at the time).

"Qualified and experienced" is how those in the industry successfully repair things without breaking them more.

Ok?
I think we're done here, thanks for input. 😊👍
