I am trying to locate a 1/4" TRS input socket replacement for a Hohner
Panther Tega-10 guitar amp. I have removed the damaged one by melting the
4 solder points where the narrow pins at the end of each leg fix into the
circuit board. These are spaced 16mm apart (measuring side to side across
the amp) and 13mm apart (measuring from front to back, i.e. in line with
the jack). The height of the centre of the jack to the surface of the
circuit board is 11mm.
Can anyone please suggest where I might find one?

As you've no doubt guessed, I'm a novice. Many thanks for the helpful advice
you guys. I'd already tried googling but could only find the sort that fits
inside guitars rather than sits on PCBs. Now CPC Preston and Maplins come up
with this

Maplins used to do a "PCB mounting pin" version, no photo and now
discontinued, which I suspect is what I need, as the old one that I removed
has the 5mm wide feet stepping down about halfway along their length to a
1mm pin, which fits into the holes in the PCB, the "shoulder" sitting flat
on the PCB.

I'll get the sort that's illustrated and see what can be done.
