Thanks very much phatt, I shall take a close look but imagine this is not for me to fix more a skilled person or I could do more damage than good with solder.

Hi,
I have just joined the forum and after reading that some members have changed the jack socket on the GK250ML I am interested as a complete novice how to fix a crackling front jack socket. Not sure how it actually is accessable as when you remove the lid on the GK250ML it is not apparent how the jack socket is attached. I thought it was the leads but when you push a little on the lead plug in the socket it seems to connect and then relieve pressure it cuts out, so think it´s the spring loaded part that touches the jackplug within the socket. You can obviously see this spring clip when one looks into the socket. I would appreciate help how to fix this small issue but is a big issue to me as cuts off the sound or drops levels.

Many thanks
Tony
