Another good name guitar in with a dodgey output socket. This time small
stem open frame Switchcraft. Are you sure Switchcraft is the bees-knees?
Central barrel turned in the shield contact tag section with just finger
grip turning force required, so breaking contact in use. Large
ballbearing and vice to re-swage that and for good measure a small lip
return on the open end of the tip contact, the 2 tags for T and S , bent
outwards a bit and a stout "O" ring run around all 3 for much improved
tip contact force. Would a replacement Switchcraft one have been any
better these days ? Bad design point there is what used to be
paxolin/tufnal disc spacers is now , presumably more compressible, pcb
type material. Plus I suspect the material that makes the tip contact
these days looses springiness/deforms easier over useage/time than
whatever they used to be made of
