I recommend against putting metal Switchcraft jacks in there. First, they will not have the auxilliary switching the Fender jacks do. Second, they will not adhere to the original grounding scheme. The real jacks will last a long time if one simply respects them. I have replaced many of them, yes, but think of the thousands of those amps that did NOT need new jacks.
The real jacks are easy enough to find.
They used to sell them loose, and they had the old part number. Then they started packing them in poly bags with a cardboard peg hole top label, and they got a new part number for that packaging.
Thanks sir! It's interesting that I've found several websites with OEM Fender Jacks (#031570) for $6.95 and up. But then there's this site:

And he sells 9 pin for $1.95 each. (6 packs for $9.95!) Has anyone bought from them before? I worry that "if it's too good to be true..."
