broken power cord input jack

[primerib]

where I plug in my power cord into the back of my dual recto, is wobbling very noticably. the plastic jack that is. it's a 3 channel dual recto. any ideas on a fix?

Is the power jack actually broken, or is it just loose fitting to the cord?

If it is indeed broken (cracked etc) have it repaired immediately before you electrocute yourself.

If it is simply loose fitting, try a few wraps of electrical tape on the cord end to snug it up.

I pulled the chassis to have a better look . The AC connector is all plastic and the top plastic tabs gave out so the jack just flops around. Looks like the pic. I can order one cheap

I don't recall if they are soldered on or use spade terminals on the inside, but either way it's a pretty easy fix.
