Hi guys,
Does something like this exist? I’m using the chasis of an old pioneer preamp for my own diy preamp and would like to desolder and reuse the RCAs present in the old board (see attached picture) , but at the same time would hate to solder wires directly to the rca pins, so a breakout board would be great to use. Searched everywhere without luck. Thank you!!

Not sure you'll find one for sale, but not that hard to make one yourself. I just started making boards last year and to my complete surprise the process is now painless and not that expensive. I'd encourage you to dip your toes in.
Yeah I thought about that. I’ve designed boards myself a couple times, but wanted something a bit quicker. That was some time ago, if you could point to some sites that manufacture low quantities at good prices let me know! I’m based in Spain thank you!!!
Not sure what is fast in Spain. In the US, oshpark has pretty fast turn times. And others here can chime in, but I thought JLPCB was fast even though it is in China. Wise to use the old chassis. I find one of my bigger challenges is drilling chassis holes for RCA's. Or really just making a nice chassis generally. Those old audio products were in nice thick metal sturdy boxes.
Thanks! I’ve used oshpark in the past so I think I’ll give it a go. Yeah chassis drilling can be a pain, I love the looks of the silver front and knobs of the old pioneer gear too , and you can get them really cheap these days.
I've used PJRAS series from Switchcraft. There are many versions from 1x2 to 4x2.

Thanks russc, probably not the prettiest solution but definitely the easiest and more practical approach. I’ll give this a go and I can always design a board if I don’t like the result. Let’s see how it goes! Cheers,
