Thanks for all the further information everyone. I found this too
http://www.cybermarket.co.uk/ishop/923/shopscr1826.html
but those pins don't look long enough to me. It looks like it's designed
to sit right on the PCB?
What is the difference between the switched and non-switched models
please?

Sorry, this is a better link for that last Q.
http://www.cybermarket.co.uk/ishop/923/shopscr2993.html

I always buy switched jack as they provide an extra pair of pins, which
give more stability when pcb mounted.

Take a look at this page, maybe the socket you require is on here.

I've emailed the Hohner rep as JANA suggested, and meanwhile ordered one of
each 2-pole and 3-pole from rapidonline because I don't know which I should
use. Can someone please advise?
If the narrow mounting pins turn out to be shorter than the old component,
so that it sits lower than before, I can surely file away about 2-3 mm of
the cutout to accomodate it. If Hohner don't come up with a component
identical to the old one, that is.

Thanks again to you all
Miles
