< I assume I must have dropped the plug on the ground, and then transferred some dirt or moisture to the recorder socket. > More likely it's just corrosion or tarnish on the connector surface caused by oxidation. I never insert a phone or miniphone plug into a jack without giving it several rotations back & forth, to scrape off any accumulated tarnish. Also, if you leave the plug in the jack for extended periods of time, i.e. months, and if the plug & jack are of dissimilar metals atmospheric pollution will cause a mild form of electroplating at the contact points. This will cause intermittent connections. Scott Fraser |
