...got the new jack sockets in the post this morning. Stripped off all the insulating tape and fitted the bulb to the new female socket. Even though the wires from the grain of wheat bulb are thin these sockets have an ingenious clamping method which holds the wires in very well.
Very pleased with these Jerry. With the taped up bulb occasionally I would get a faulty connection - with this new socket it hopefully should be much better.
