repair. I know that from lots of experience, Hi!

Mine went broke after some 6 years of use so I ordered a new one.
Still need to replace it...:-)
I have a dummy plug at hand to turn off the internal speaker of my K2, the
headphone jack connection is still ok, just the switch isn't.

So have I...time to fire up the iron and get some work done.
