I beg to differ. Those old brass (not bronze) plugs are in no way superior to
the current chrome plated steel AND the chrome will not oxidize. I prefer the
newer design, myself.
Having said that, you can get the HEADPHONE side plug at The Shack, but the mic
plug is an old telephone switchboard style 0.206" diameter dinosaur that is ONLY
used these days for aviation. Pricey.

Okay, brass it is. The problem I have with the RatShaq (et al) is that
some are shiny hollow tubes and are easily bent if you don't push/pull
straight in/out of the recepticles. You get what you pay for.
