[Elecraft] K1 headphone jack

[mbyrd22 at tampabay.rr.com]

Good morning,

I know this is a known issue with some headphone jacks for the K1 and K2s. I found my internal speaker isn't working any longer and know the issue is with the jack itself. I have the replacement jack to install now and I have a question about this. Is the replacement jack the same or is this an improved version?  I use headphones only to copy CW  but would like to listen as I work on projects. It is a lot of trouble to swap the onboard jack that would just fail again in time. I would rather not risk any damage to the K1s board at this time if the repair isn't a permanent solution.
