Pete,
Intermittent operation usually means a marginal connections somewhere.
Does your K3 have the gold pins on the Front Panel? If not, I suggest
that you change them.
To test whether the front panel to RF Board pins are the problem, remove
the front panel assembly and plug it back in. If you have a couple
drops of DeOxit, you may want to apply some sparingly.
Just removing and replugging the pins can wipe away oxidation from the
pins and allow it to continue to work.
While not necessarily a cure, it is good as a test to try to isolate the
problem.
BTW - the headphone amplifier is separate from the speaker audio
amplifier. So the fact that the headphones work OK says the rest of the
K3 is fine.
73,
