Be careful Allan,
Some of my temporary ugly fixes are over 40 years old now!  ;-)

And nobody actually responded to my question...Please, guys, if you don't
really have an answer or experience with the actual question, please don't
waste bandwidth... My question was known to be a long shot and I already
have a working fix. It is just ugly and sticks out awkwardly from the front
panel. And, no, I don't want two different types of headphones floating
around the shack.
