Not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this question or not but here goes. I have a pair of Eagle Metal Detecting Headphones that need repair. They work pretty good but stress on the cable where it connects to the audio plug has broken through the cable casing. It hasn't broken off completely yet but it will soon. There seems to be 3 wires going into the jack, a red, a black, and a white one. I would like to replace the jack with a right angle / 90 degree plug in order to relieve some of the stress off of the cord where it enters the plug.I currently live in Germany and have not been able to find the replacement jack I that I need and I have looked at Radio Shack website and on eBay. Does anyone have an idea where I could purchase a quality replacement jack. I am pretty sure that I could solder the wires myself. I can receive mail here through the Army APO mail system so I could order a replacement if you could just point me in the right directioinThanks for your assistance.Greg
 

You might try a local stereo store. If they don't have one, they may know who does.
 

Thanks everyone for the help! I just went ahead and purchased 2 on ebay and it will take a while for them to arrive but its worth the wait!
Happy Hunting!
