Thanks for the comments. I solved the dilemma by replacing the phone jack, but hard wired the switch closed on the PC board. There is audio in the speaker and the headphones regardless of the phone jack status. I built up a small audio amp which I connect to the external speaker jack. If I don't want speaker audio, I turn off the amp. By the way, the amp feeds two speakers on either side of the radio desk which sorta gives me stereo. I notice the K3 has a 1/4" phone jack. And, I have a K3 on order to deliver sometime late June or early July.
