[Elecraft] K3 CW conector Problem

[david Moes]

This happened to me  not on a K3 but in a headphone conector on a mixing 
board.    but the same connectors.     when the tip came off the 
connector the tip  was attached to a  pin that extended trough the ring 
a sleve.  so what was left inside the mixer was not so deep down the 
hole.    with a flashlight and very fine long needle nose pliers I was 
able to grab it and pull it out.  no damage done.
