Spector LX 5 Noisy Jack Socket... Heelp!!

I bought a used LX5 on the 'bay a couple of months ago, and I love it, BUT, it has a really noisy Jack socket which I don't seem to be able to cure however much I fiddle!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the tonepump preamp uses the middle sleeve contact to switch on and off, and if the Jack plug is wiggled even slightly it makes a loud popping noise.

Anyone got any quick thoughts, as I have an important gig tonight, and though I could relegate to my spare and use my Rebop 5, I would rather not!

Thanks!

Hmm yes, you can't really get "into" it can you! Cleaned it, but to no avail!, will try contacting Spector, thanks for all your help, guys!!

PS. used the rebop instead, the gig was stunning! We were "supporting" the "Abba Girls", all went really well!
