Which replacement for the ear and mic jack from the ZX 48K fits? Or gives it the same jacks in new?

    they are probably a standard fitting from any electronic shop..

    there are schematics / manuals on here listing parts.. have you looked under documentation on the main site

    I don't know the part number. But two years ago when I asked my uncle to replace the ear jack on a 48K he told me I was in luck because he always had those laying around. In less than an hour my 48K was able to hear again. :) I don't think he knew the part number either.

    The service manual does not give part numbers on these (or the power jack)...just the generic description.

    EAR 3.5 mm jack socket
    MIC 3.5 mm jack socket
    PWR 2.1 mm co-axial socket

    Mouser.com has quite a few if you search for 3.55 mono jack...shouldn't be too difficult to find a match.

    I only see the same jack in ebay and a UK shop ( long time ago)

    I made a tutorial where I showed how I put 2 stereo jacks in a Spectrum+128K. As you can see, this jack are similar to old mono jack

    I bought them in my local electronic shop. I asked for mono/stereo jack and they showed my all the models they had.

    Like chassis mount jack were cheaper, I bought some of them. Later, in my house, I checked them and found that this stereo model could be adapter very easy. ( and can be used with the original mono cable)

    All the model they showed me are very common. A example:

    If you look for jack 3.5mm in the web www.maplin.co.uk ( for example), I can tell you that the 2 models that you can see in the first page, are in my local shop ( I'm from spain)

    In the second page, you can see the model that i bought.

    Might be an idea to look for a dead speccy on ebay and strip for parts.
