often this kind of problem in inside the female jack itself, where the
contacts physically touch the 1/4" plug.  i had the same problem on an old
yamaha rx5 drum machine years ago. it got so bad that the connector actually
broke off!

anyways, have a look inside the unit & if its a sealed female casing then
look at any identifying number and head, as you say, to your local
RadioShack.  their range has shrunk to mobile phones & the odd plug, but
hopefully you'll find something...  if not there are a number of really good
online stores, and if you don't feel up to soldering then check out your
local TV Repair centre - usually these guys are very good & don't charge too
much.  peace of mind & all that...

btw my *new* XL7 can be seen here <http://analoguehaven.com/used>
