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

Have seen that before but….. usually ’someone’ before me had some sort of 6” adapters coming out of the panel to go to their speaker cord, and the length just stressed the jack too much. On the ones that I built I have never seen that issue. I like the KX3 right angle approach for all the

I don't know about options, but FWIW, it seems to be a problem with *some* jacks. I still have the original headphone jack in my K2 (built in 2000) and it has had a lot use. However, I have always been careful to avoid putting excessive side forces on the jack. I never use adapters stuck into
