Subject: Re: AW: [Doepfer_a100] Cliff S6 jacks [slightly OT]



i've got an early A100 Basic 1 with the bad jacks, i just wiggle them a bit
when they flake out...is there any type of simple fix, short of replacing
every jack?

as I know all other manufacturers that were using the 3.5 mm
Cliff sockets S6PC - have changed to a revised version of the Cliff sockets
many years ago (I think it was in 2001). Especially Bob Williams of Analogue
Systems/UK and I intervened at Cliff to obtain sockets with better contacts
(stronger spring). As far as I know the contact problems have been solved
since the revised Cliff sockets are in use - at least we had no more
complaints since that time.
