This happened to me too so it can't be that rare! The other spare 
I've needed was a headphone socket. They take mini-jacks but if, like 
me you use an adapter to a full size jack, they break. Mine took 
about a year. Obviously I now only use mini jacks. I would guess this 
isn't that rare either because it is a spare item on the Elecraft 
site.

In general I very much agree that things electronic don't wear out.
