I would maybe go for larger quantities if people would go in on a buy (hint hint). Aaron's has any size you can imagine and in whatever alloy you want, but small quantities are expensive. McMaster-Carr has them all for cheap, but in different alloys. I haven't found a place where I can get all the same alloy for all of the sizes I need and inexpensive. I am replacing all hardware with torx hardware.I am going to look for a machinist to just nip into the top plate a tiny bit to the shape of the jack's flange so it absolutely will not move. The headphone jack is crooked and could use some mounting work. I designed them and put them up for everybody. Click this sentence to visit the site and maybe purchase them. They made specifically for my capacitors, and you can see the slots for the zip tie. It's not ideal so I designed some brackets in SketchUp and are having them made at shapeways for $3.96 apiece. It works and can't easily be seen because it's clear. I just used packing tape to keep them held up. They have a silver-plated crown springs inside the contacts made of beryllium copper. They are the teflon composite type from Parts Connexion. The octal tube socket just plain sucks and the signal started becoming intermittent, so I took the amp out of commission and I am going to do a whole slew of things to it. I've since replaced the RCAs with Neutrik ones and the headphone jack with a Neutrik latching jawn. It came with AΞON output capacitors, an ALPS potentiometer, and one of the tubes appears to not be stock. I bought a Crack off ebay some time ago, pre-built.
