Help locating replacement jack for Boss DD-5

[adamgdog]

I just bought this pink label Boss DD5. Got it for $50 knowing the output jack didn't work. I opened it up and the jack is bad. As you can see in the picture the Tip retainer had broken off. I have not been able to locate a replacement jack online. Thanks for any help!

You want the HLJ0544 part number. These are tricky to get and the only suppliers I could find with a quick search right now are foreign, like this one:

HLJ0544 1/4" stereo jack, metallic thread, PCB. BOSS

1/4" plastic female jack with metal thread HLJ 0544, horizontal mounting and 3-pin for PCB mounting. Mono with switched contact. Mainly used in 80's Japanese synthesizers, devices and pedals.

Perfect! Thanks a bunch. I wasn't even able to come up with close enough terminology to get a picture of one to pop up haha

If you cannot obtain the jack from a supplier, buy a dead Boss pedal and scavenge one of the jacks.
