[Yaesu] Phone Jack in FT-980 and perhaps FT-1000

[David Thompson]

I have a Yaesu FT-980 that has one of the "so called" phone jacks that has 
given me problems for awhile.  I opened up the Yaesu and found that the 
component has fallen apart.

This part is listed under receptacles in the Tech Supplement parts list as 
symbol # J3, part # P1090134 and the description says SG7627 (phones).  A 
pictoral is on the exploded views.  Its really a component type with plates 
that connect with the stereo plug so that audio goes to the headphones and 
thus cutting off the speaker,

Is the SG7627 a manufacturer part number?  I am thinking of just using a 
regular stereo jack to replace the component.  The FT-980 was remade into 
the FT-1000/1000D so am betting this rig uses the same component.

I found from past e-mail conversations this has been a problem with a number 
of Yaesu rigs.

Thanks in advance.
