God I just don't know what to do anymore! I tighten it, wiggle it, ive installed washers...

how can i fix it without adding another part, or changing the existing jack?

Yeah, not bad. What's the actual loose part of the jack you have?

the electrosocket jack is easy to install and works great. you won't have a loose jack again.

+2000. It installs with two screws and is FAR superior to a standard Tele cup jack assembly. Even the guys on the TDPRI forums recommend them.

And it feels so good going in... the cable, that is. Very positive "click"

Replace the washer with a lock washer.

I hate the standard tele jack cup. So much in fact that I went with an LP-style plate on my partscaster. MUCH better!
