Mark Bass amps (Italy) use no-name 0.25 inch input sockets (4 numeral molded
underneath and 3 pin holes each side of the body) . Eyeletted before
soldering but after desoldering with fresh solder, to aid pressed/eyeletted
removal , 2 of the pins have no wetting and dull finish other than solder on
the cut ends. One pin active , other pin just physical holding ,not
electrical, but eventually intermittant contact of the active one.


OK. I always thought that the eyelets were pressed into and possibly
swaged to the board instead.
