DGS brand 1/4" jacks?

[Hallgeir Helland]

Hi,

I had them send both the 161-1804 and the 16PJ022.
The first one is a bit cheaper but the metal is thinner
and seems more flimsy. I bought 100 of the 16PJ022 and
used them in my ASM-1. Haven't had any problems yet.
Although the jack requires a bit of force to insert...
perhaps they'll soften up in a few years.

BTW, the 161-1804 is made in Taiwan and the 16PJ022 in Japan.
