[Elecraft] K1 (2040) speaker dead

[dave]

Ruchan,

This is a known problem with both the K1 and K2.  The earphone jack goes bad.  Must 
replace it.  Quite a chore.

Right now the jack on my K2 is open on the speaker side, just like your's.  I've already 
replaced the jack on my K1 and was hoping I wouldn't have to do this on the K2, but alas, 
it is now also broken.

After a while I disconnect headphone to use it with its own speaker but the speaker didn't work. I checked headphone again and again it was OK but when I disconnect it there was no voice heard from the speaker. Speaker was completely dead.
