I've been searching but didn't find any incredible deals. I need a few hundred 1/4" stereo switched jacks with metal nuts, like this:

And I just need some 5mm LEDs for my car so diffused or not is fine. I prefer a bright one if possible, but I don't care, I just want alot of em'! Atleast 100 is needed.
Anyone in a similar situation? Where should I look? Thanks!!!
There's these for LED's as far as jacks go I don't have a clue.

Not sure where the best price is on those style jacks. Are they the Marshall style, or the Dunlop type?
That LED site is great!!!
Dunlop uses PCB mount and Marshall uses plastic nuts, so its sort of a cross breed of the two.
For the jacks MPJA has the open kind for $0.35 or you could ask wizard, if you look at this thread...

It looks like the same jack and he mentions he gets them cheap.
Actually that is the type used on Marshalls (1959, 1987) they switched to the plastic nuts from the JMP 2203/4 series on.
Well I need an old stock from Marshall then... :D. Rare vintage 1/4" jacks!!! Get in line!
The actual parts (jacks) Marshall used were made by "Cliff" a UK company, the Re'an (recently bought by Neutrik) jacks are functional replacements for the Cliff jacks though some say of a lesser quality.
Mouser sells them. (Rean/Neutrik)
I have 1000 of the marshall-type jacks, with all-plastic nuts. Take the whole box for $30 + shipping (about $10 within US) - email me at spam@toothpastefordinner.com
