I have been unable to locate a replacement input 1 jack for my 1984 Concert II (Rivera Era). It was made by Switchcraft especially for Fender and is unique due to the channel switching feature. Does anyone know where I might get one? I've scoured the internet for the last year. Thanks.

The Fender P/N for your jack doesn't seem to correlate to anything that Switchcraft currently sells but take a look at this listing and see if it doesn't look familiar......

Thanks for the replies. Yes ,It is a Switchcraft XVII but where do I find the military version ? It might be a little long since the original is a short jack.

IMO any good electronic store . Try Mouser , Digitech

It might be a little long since the original is a short jack.

Why do said is little long ? My picture may not be the XVII. It is just a sample on switchraft link



Any picture of the original ?

Hello , I can't provide a pic yet but will try. I assumed the pic you provided was the actual military version of XVII since the original doesn't look like that one but some features are the same.

Thank you again for the instructions but I can't seem to get the image to copy to the reply post. Anyway , the jack is a standard looking 1/4" open frame design as shown on the Switchcraft website and similar in appreance to a 12A except that it has the XVII circuit as shown on the schematic. Switchcraft has not made this jack for many years and it seems that it is next to impossible to find a replacement. My amp tech is a retired Fender Canada specialist and knows these amps inside / out but we can't seem to find this part. The broken jack apparently cannot be repaired so he has replaced it temporarily until we can track down the part.
