Thanks Don, I believe that was the one DK mentioned. One question remains. If it is a switchcraft jack (who's reputation goes without saying) is it a ring tip sleeve? Or does it even need to be?

The pedal from the Yamaha DX-7 works very well without modification,
is inexpensive, pretty well built, and readily available.

I can't remember the model number (something like "FC7"?) but if you go
to any competent musical instrument store they should know exactly
which one.

One suggested mod is to replace the molded plastic plug with a proper
Switchcraft plug.
