If it turns out to be the socket, you can probably crack the case and fix it. The board is fairly primitive (read:not too micro miniaturized) so getting at it to re solder should be easy. Pop over to news jumpingcholla com and subscribe to the nomad groups there. A little more active than here. Couple old timers from way back still post there. One of them (Jake, I think) built a FrankenJukebox that used a NJB1, SLA battery, a couple speakers, all in a bowling ball bag. Great at picnics or long weekends. Probably have a good idea how the socket is attached.
