Broken RCA jacks


Several of the jacks on a receiver I bought are missing the silver outer covers, so the male plug can't grip onto anything. Is there an easy way to fix this, or do I need to install new RCA jacks? I take it that would mean soldering, which is something I've never done. Any ideas?

A set of tiffany style jacks is indicated. Soldering is not that big a deal. One of the mail order houses like http://www.musicdirect.com would be better.
You'll need a good soldeing iron and some silver content solder. Practice first. Remember to heat the joint first then solder.
