Output jack on 1981 Hamer Vector.

[P Franco]

Hello, 

Having a small issue with my 1981 Hamer Vector. The top mounted 1/4 inch instrument cable does not stay connected, keeps falling out. 
Any suggestions on a specific replacement?

You might get away with bending the spring contacts enough to hold cable again... or

You can use any type like "Switchcraft" but I just recently replaced mine with a "Pure-Tone" 1/4" output Jack... pretty stout & holds cable tight (highly recommend)

Pure Tone Mono Multi-Contact 1/4 inch Output Jack - Nickel https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N94UUD0/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_SMWN2SSNXWJHHSFX45AA

Unless you want the look of the original

I just want to thank both of you for using the correct term 'output jack'. 🤩🤘

Thanks again Dave, just replaced the jack with a Pure Tone last night and my Vector is singing away!
