Easy how to replace switch jack plate on a 1960a cabinet

Was having trouble with my cabinet shorting out.
Seems like it's happened twice in the 10 years I've had it.
Just had to reflow solder to make it work again.

So I ordered a new part off eBay for like $22 or something.

Took about 5 minutes to replace it.
(Just an fyi for any rookies down the road)

Tools, screw driver, 15mm or 5/8 socket.

Unscrew these four screws

Pull jack plate out enough to give yourself some room

Use socket to unscrew the nuts on the old board and remove wires one at a time, transferring them to the new board in the same place

new board wired the same as the old board

Tighten in new nuts just snug, don't wrench them

Put screws back in, DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN THESE, THEYLL SNAP YOUR CORNERS OFF
