Re: Arthur:  First you should let us know where you are from. I am 
near Cleveland.   Second, the female board jacks are still 
available, but as I recall, my EII+ has two different style jacks, 
one a straight 2 connect and other may have a metal strip to lift 
ground.  Either way it is just a matter of unsoldering jack and 
resoldering new one to board.  If you are unable to find resources 
in your area just get back to me and we will go from there.   Doug
