What have you seen that happens to the K&K jack? That sucks to hear.

With any barrel-type jack the contacts eventually stretch and it makes an intermittent connection. At least with a passive pickup you can connect the unused ring contacts to ground as well and double-up the reliability of that (you did do that, I hope!), but there's still only one contact for the tip.

I'm all up for paying you to sort out the action on this thing.
