snip

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.

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?


2 pole is correct, tho you can use a 3pole just as easily, bend the
centre pair of tags underneath or snip them off.

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.

If it`s too low, rather than file the front panel, mount it on short
lengths of thick copper wire, or if there`s room, invert it and connect
it up with lengths of flexible wire - making sure to connect the correct
pins - they are on the opposite side when the socket is inverted[1]

[1] does that make sense?
