Sony XM-3060 RCA

[Petererc]

Hi there,

Picked up a Sony XM-3060 with a missing RCA shield, hoping it would be an easy fix. Well turns out not so easy finding the 10 pin RCA jack that Sony used. I checked all the other RCA"s I had to see if I could remove a shield and pop it on with no luck. I can find 9 pin RCA's that look like they may work. As far as I can tell A-F are the positive inputs and the three G's are the negative shared ground. I don't believe the tenth pin between D and E does anything

here's a couple possible replacements?
thanks for your time

I forgot to upload the schematic from the service manual. I have been searching for gold plated female RCA's that may be close enough to remove the shield but have had no luck.

You can take shields and move them from one jack to another. They are held in by friction.

The diagram doesn't match your board, does it?

Does the extra contact show 0 ohm continuity to any of the other terminals?

Pulled one off helps to see what to look for in a replacement. Yes, crazy the board does not match the diagram. The extra contact is maybe strain relief? There is zero continuity to any of the other terminals.
Thanks

getting closer. Turns out Sony shared the part with the TA-E77ES(D)

This is what's inside.

Virtually any jack that has the exposed tab at the top and bottom will likely work.

Do you really want gold? The finish is damaged the first time that you plug in a cable. Chrome is better is virtually every way.

When you get the jacks repaired or replaced, bend the top and bottom tab so that it cannot easily pull out.

I was looking for gold to keep it original. These look like they will work if I remove the shields, found some even cheaper

Why not buy a 6 and just replace the entire thing?

The 6er on amazon was arriving until May 10th, the other will be here quicker and cheaper. If I run into problems with it I can then replace it now that i know how.

Thanks again
