|Last time I looked into this, the jack sockets were 
|Cliff 13841. The 13841s are more tolerant of different
|shaped tips (far eastern) than the earlier 1384 model,
|which had caused some reliability problems with earlier
|doepfer gear.
|
|A couple of years back, a friend and I did a bulk order
|direct with Cliff UK, who were helpful, and the jacks
|worked out around £0.33 GBP each, but we had to buy
|1000 as a minimum order. I have read since that some
|guys stateside have had problems getting a similar deal
|from Cliff USA.

I took the liberty of following this up with Cliff UK,
They just quoted me :-

CL1382 - S6/BB/Solder Tag - MOQ 100 £0.324ea
FCR1281 - S6/BB/PC Mount - MOQ 100 £0.31ea

I guess there will be VAT on top of that, but it's not a bad price or quantity!
I was considering getting some for my own use anyway (I prefer solder tag and could justify 200 for myself),
