How to repair a broken speaker jack terminal on a guitar cabinent.

For sometime now, my fellow guitarist in our band has been complaining about his speaker jack. So one night while at our rehearsal space, I decided to take a look at it. When I took it out i discovered that a couple of the terminals were broken off. I assume from years of being knocked around and subjected to tremendous vibrations from the music we play. After looking at it for a little bit, and realizing I had no viable replacement, I came up with a quick solution.

Step 1 Tools needed.

Soldering Iron

Solder

needle nose pliers

some thin copper wire

some standard gauge electrical solid core copper wire

Wire cutters
