I recommend getting the RCA jacks, Toggle switches, 1k Linear Potentiometers and DC connectors from specialised electronics part supplier such as: https://www.switchelectronics.co.uk/ https://www.taydaelectronics.com/

You will find them much cheaper and of superior quality in general vs sourcing them on Amazon.
