[K2] K2 Speaker audio died

[K1FFX]

Half-way through the CQWW CW contest last weekend [conditions, by the way,
were remarkably good!], the speaker audio on my K2 stopped working.  No
sound from either the internal speaker or an external speaker plugged into
the rear jack.  Headphone audio is fine.  One other piece of info: it's a
K2/100; haven't tried it with the low-power cover.

I'd appreciate any suggestions on where I should start looking.  I'm
assuming some component has failed (the K2, built in 2010, is 9 years old).

Thanks very much.

Bruce,

Your headphone jack is broken and needs to be replaced.
If you don't know how to replace it, take a look at

Hi, Don -

Your suggestion was, as always, right on the money. I got the replacement
part from Elecraft today and I did the repair this afternoon.  Your detailed
instructions at WY3A's website were very helpful.  And once again, your
suggestion, which I've seen in other places here on the Elecraft forum, to
destroy the part and then easily pull the remaining pins or leads out,
followed by the toothpick method for cleaning the holes, got the job done
handily.

In any case, audio is back ... this was an easy fix and I appreciate your
support.

Best -

Bruce K1FFX
