He  wouldn't have to mess with the socket, John, just open the DIN plug and  
move the wire from pin 5 to pin 7.  That would work  fine.

=====================================
 
a trick to working on din plugs,   cut the top and bottom off a  potato ( 
flat like a little table)  and stick the din plug into the potato  to hold it 
still and it also acts as a heat sink so the other pins don't come  loose..
