Looking for Pre-Map Receptable for Ovation OP-30 Pre-Amp, CS-347 guitar

[vintshave]

Hey guys,

Just bought an old CS-347 Ovation. Its pretty sweet but there is something broken in the receptacle for the pre-amp (one spring is missing and a catch-tab on the right is also missing. Would be grateful if anyone here knew where i could score one...new or used.

I think only used, from another guitar. The manufacturer stopped making them I think, and these are highly sought after parts. I think the factory gets calls all day long from people looking for parts.
There is a retrofit kit for $300 but I'm not sure if it comes with the hardware...
you are probably better off making your own.
