Repairing Headphone Cable Jack

[jalbert]

I think this is a simple question to answer but I can't find instructions anywhere.
I have an old headphone extension cable(male and female 1/4" jacks, coiled, about five feet long when not being pulled) that needs a new male jack. The overall diameter of the cable is about 3/16" and inside there are three individually insulated wires(red, black and white).
What kind of jack do I need and how do I wire it? Thanks.

you need a 1/4 stereo plug. tip is red, ring is white, sleeve is black

new male jack

If it's male, it's a plug.

If it's female, it's a jack.

If it's female, it's a jack.

Funny, that's the same rule I apply to myself when watching Mexican television.

SUCCESS!!!! Thanks for the help.

and, MadAudio, believe me I'd be blind several times over by now if it was going to happen.
