[Elecraft] K2 #4039 Headphone Socket - Replacement needed, UK supplier?

[Geoffrey Mackenzie-Kennedy]

Morning Nicolas,

I had exactly the same fault. Searched high and low in the UK and the rest
of Europe for a replacement with the switch but no luck. So I finally had to
order one from Elecraft. The cost of shipping was a heck of a lot more than
the cost of the headphone socket, and I wish now that I had ordered two or
three as it is a bit flimsy.  I received it within a few days with Lisa's
help.

Hope that this helps,

73,

Geoff      GM4ESD

Hi,

I wonder if anyone can suggest a UK supplier for the K2’s headphone
socket. Mine no longer switches the internal speaker on and sometimes
makes a poor connection to the headphones. Close internal inspection
revealed that one of the plastic lugs on the “rear switch” had broken
away. So the headphone socket was no longer sliding the rear switch
across.
I have tried Maplin’s and RS, I could find the correct basic socket but
not one with the rear switch.

Thanks!!!

Regards
Nicolas
