Everybody sells 3.5mm plugs but nobody sells 3.5mm jack that you can
mount and solder wires to. Is there a source? Most dealers don't
even know the difference.


Salvage some from old modems or PC sound cards !


Wow. I'm still getting them from radios and portable tvs. I'm 3
ahead now of the number I've used.


I've tins full of salvaged parts... The sad thing is that most if not
all of them will end up being thrown away as rubbish ! Probably by my
children after I pass on. :-(
