Just got a second-hand baja. Jack lead won't stay in socket. Also noticed volume control only works at the top 10% of rotation

Replace it with an electrosocket and a better quality jack. Pretty easy mod, very basic soldering skills required.

I don't understand your 2nd question (10%)?

For the volume, if you only get sound when the volume is at 10, you may have a broken tone control. I could be wrong, but I think the Baja has one of the fancy volume controls that cuts out the tone control when you turn it to near full, and goes direct. If that's the only time you get sound, my guess is that the wire in the tone control is broken.

Changing it is a bit more work than usual, as you have the S-1 switch.

Thanks guys. Jack OK now - just needed ramming in a bit harder!
Will check out the volume issue when I gig it tomorrow.

The jack issue is kind of widespread, if you google it.
