[Elecraft] tip of 3.5 mm plug remains in key jack

[Gwen Patton]

I did try a broken key extractor to get the tip of the plug out of the
jack, but I couldn't get it to grab. But getting a broken key out of a lock
is what it's designed for, so it might have worked reasonably well to get
that key out of your ignition.
