Hi Marco,
Welcome to the forum, and I had a similar sync cord/pc cord socket issue with my silver 65mm f/8 lens. I sent the lens and GL690 to Essex Camera in NJ to replace the pc sync (it may have been an older Nikon type but I never found a compatible cable and my camera needed a CLA anyway, so I sent it off for repair) . Essex replaced the pc socket, and I can use my sync cords with the lens now, but short of repair/replacement, Sebastien suggested the Nikon sync cord idea - if you have a nearby camera store maybe you can bring your camera or even just your lens and try out their various sync cords to see if you can find a working (and cheaper) option.
Good luck, and have a good weekend,
Andrew
