audio jack size between 1/8" and 1/4"?

[Jules Ryckebusch]

I believe what you are looking for is a "TT" jack (which I believe stands for
Tiny Telephone, might be wrong) Chek with  http://www.conquestsound.com/ I think
Mouser and Digi-Key also carry them. Or, I could go to North Island Naval Air
Station and do a little Midnight Maintenance, but that might affect the rest of
my Naval Career so....
