Make sure you confirm tip, sleeve and switch. There are lots of knock offs floating around that don't always have the same order to the terminals.

I use a similar method of direct wiring the 68k and 1M to the input jacks followed by shield cable to V1 grids. I mount the jacks inside-out on the chassis first to get the pairs lined up and then install the resistors and cables solder them in in pairs to the jacks, and then undo them and put them in the right way around and solder the cables up to the V1 grid pins JM2CW
