Your welcome, and no, the "Power Amp In" jack is very different, a nine-pin jack that doesn't seem to have a direct open-frame replacement. Neither the 13B or 13E will work for the "Power Amp In". Switchcraft does show a couple of open-frame jacks that would work, namely their schematic numbers XXVII or XXXVIII, which are 10 pin and 9 pin respectively. It would take some digging to get a number for either of these Switchcraft jacks.

Thanks again for the info. I did some digging, but in the end realized I didn't understand enough about Switchcraft's methodology to trace the schematics back to an actual part number. I suspect that there may be a jack that fits the requirements I need somewhere in Switchcraft's 1/4" Enclosed Straight PC Jacks line, but I find myself getting lost in the details. I found a 9 pin stereo jack offered by StewMac, but the schematic didn't match the one for the plastic Fender replacement part.

The Power Amp In jack is currently working, so I think I'll go with the jack currently in the amp and replace the others with Switchcraft L12A jacks. My son is the primary user of this amp and I really can't recall him using that jack anyway. I'll ask the amp tech that I am going to use for the speaker upgrade if he can recommend a proper upgrade.

Thanks to all who responded. I actually learned a lot more about these jacks than I ever though I would know. For now, I'm off to eat some turkey and pumpkin pie.

Happy Thanksgiving!
