[sdiy] 1/4" phone plugs

[ed cope]

635mm Mono Jacks are about £1 in the uk so about $1.93509
But if you want to do it more cheeply you can get the plastic barreled 
ones for about 75p - $1.45190

Having said that though i got a nice set of 6 1/4" patchleads readymade 
for £7 today so that was about a quater of the price than just the plugs 
alone!
So look arround,  i have a guy near me who runs this tiny little shop, 
and sometimes you can get plugs and whatever for a couple of pence.

Ohh and if you want them too last you can get clear heatsrink to go over 
the inside of the plugs.
