[TenTec] Replacing the speaker in a Delta II/Argonaut II

[W8BVH]

Hello Bill:
Look at the remote speaker jack. It probably needs replacing. They get bent 
w/ age and/or break inside. I've replaced several of them. The tongue in the 
jack looses it's tension and arcs and/or doesn't make good contact when 
closed.
Best regards,
