I had to see if it was possible. As you can see, this is a pretty tired, dirty old input jack, rescued from my scrap bin in a bit of weekend boredom to see what it would take to replicate the famous jack error Fluke. It can't withstand much scrutiny, as the moved red jack is a bit low, the moved black jack is a bit high, and both have concentrically issues. I wasted about 15 minutes on this useless activity, and got to have fun with the Dremel tool.
No, it's not a photo edit job; that would have been faster. This fine replica actually exists.
