What to do with broken amp?

Same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago, I accidentally knocked the jack back into the amp and ripped it off its lugs. (dont ask how. its a stupid story). Had it fixed in a few minutes. Just pulled a jack off an old school electronics project. From the picture you posted it looks kind of the same idea as mine - There are holes in the PCB to slot the lugs into, then you just solder them in place. A new jack socket will cost you 50pence if that. I had to file mine down a bit so it would fit in properly. but it works fine. Didnt really worry too much about how I soldered it, just stuck a blob of solder on each lug once it was slotted in. Just a good idea to melt the old solder and use a solder sucker to take it off, just to keep things clean.
