Need source for plugs

Post by Reeltarded »

I have to find either 2 working 2 function Vox footswitches, or the plugs to make my own.

These are JMI Domino amps. They have verb, and trem. One has horizontal green pinstripe. Yay! (pinstriporno here)

Other is more like a 61-62.

Is it a 5 pin Bulgin? What is it called? It's about an inch across, and the amp socket is male.

I can't turn on the whooptie-doo. The sellers said the whooptie-doo didn't work, and they were right.. without a switch!

Duuuuhhhrrr!

Need pics? Forget it. I am not driving half an hour to satisfy your urge for amporno. (tonight) Both of these amps are completely straight, and cleaner than my mother's vision of the deeds I've done.

If it's a bulgin type socket it should be stamped with a manufacture and part number. Use that to search for it's mate. Or pull it and put in a replacement. I find EBAY UK to be the best source for all things British and rare for amps.

If you can't find a vintage piece, Bulgin is still in business and still makes the equivalent circular connector, but you'll likely need both the male and female parts since the new designs don't look compatible with the old. Switchcraft has a competing line. Check Newark, Mouser(EU), etc.

Actually, if you had to replace both ends and couldn't get proper ones, you may was well use standard 5-pin DIN. Not authentic, but cheaper.
