Loose Input Jack

[mazareth]

Since this is the Answer Place here's my question...

The input jack on my L-03E is loose! I pulled the strings a couple nights ago and tried to reach inside to tighten the jack by hand. My arm is too big to reach it though. Can anyone tell me what kind of tool there is to tighten the nut? A link to a picture would be cool!

Thanks in advance,

Mark

You should be able to tighten the jack from the outside.

First, remove the strap jack cover by turning it counter clockwise.



Second, tighten the retaining nut by turning it clockwise. You should insert a small screwdriver through the hole to keep the jack from turning as you tighten.



Replace the strap jack cover,and voila, you're done!

I sometimes put a very small drop of fingernail polish on the threads of the jack to keep it from coming loose again.

Well, that was easy! Took about 5 minutes...
