technics advice please

the connection in the red part of the jack is broken. do i need to take the whole deck to a shop to get it repaired (as the lead is inside the deck) or would it be an easy enough job to do if i bought the jack myself?


sorry if the terminology is wrong and it's not clear what i mean.

Only if you have a soldering iron and you're handy with one.

You could easily repair the jack then, although the cable would be a bit cut shorter.

To do this properly they'd normally solder a new phono cable onto the inside of the deck.

If you know someone who can solder or an elec engineer, you could get them to do it, otherwise give it to the pro's.
