[Elecraft] speaker problem

[Roland & Elvie Whitsitt]

Thanks Tom,  It had been working fine.  Just after I unplugged the 
headphones after only my 2nd qso, the speaker didn't work.  Still plugged in 
the board.  I wiggled it, nada.  Not much it could be so I've ordered a new 
headphone jack.  Use to, I could jumper it and it would disconnect when I 
plugged in the head phones.  Now when I jumper it and plug in the phones, it 
don't disconnect.  Also, the headphone jack seems to wiggle around inside. 
The outside is stable.
