[GTALUG] ot: headphone jac replacement?

[Karen Lewellen]

I did speak to this sort of.
actually, I have an extension, need to replace it again as it has a short.
My headphones must match certain specifications.
With my intending to find a second  pair when I can get eyes here again.
Still the unit itself has outlasted headphone extensions and headphones 
without missing a beat.
They were built like a tank, and kept in production because of all the 
reading abilities available.
