Where do you guys get your cable jacks & plugs? Allied, Digikey, mouser?
I have no idea what the best source is now... Amazon?? Back in 1978 there was a huge $$ savings by doing it myself and I knew if I did it right, they would last long time. These days with automation and Chinese children soldering cables in Shanghai the price advantage is gone. DIY still is a pretty big quality assurance and it sharpened my soldering skills for future repairs.

Amazon.com: Switchcraft 280 1/4" Straight Phone Plug: Electronics

Amazon.com: GLS Audio 20 Foot Guitar Instrument Cable - 1/4 Inch TS to 1/4 Inch TS 20 FT Brown Yellow Tweed Cloth Jacket - 20 Feet Pro Guitar Cord 20' Phono 6.3mm Cord - SINGLE: Musical Instruments
