Hello, thank you very much for your advises and responses. They are really helpful. Here is what I have learned.
Several options how to remove the tip of the plug from the jack: A. use a ball pen refill with a proper inner diameter, i.e from a BIC pen, which pulls over the tip firmly and then out the tip B. put a small piece of super glue on the tip of a straightened paper clip, insert it, wait sufficient time for perfect binding, then pull out the tip. Glue gel should work better than glue fluid. Avoid putting the glue at the inside of the jack. You may use a straw around the clip for shielding. C. use a drill with appr. 1mm or 0.04 inch diameter, drill by hand into the tip and pull it out. D. use a screw with a small diameter und carefully screw it in the tip and pull it out. E. open the rig and use a lock pick or similar tool to push the broken tip out from the back of the jack. It only works if the jack is open from the behind. F. bring the rig to an Elecraft authorized repair service/repair center ..tbc Finally, option C worked for me. Enjoy the weekend. 73, Eugen, DL4SAS ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html Message delivered to arch...@mail-archive.com
