Well, Steve, I have noticed the problem for quite some time, although I
think it may have gotten a bit worse recently.
I guess my current plan is to just keep using the rig as is, since I can
make the speaker work if I properly seat the plug in the jack, and just
leave things alone.
If I'm going to send the rig in, I'd almost rather wait until I have another
reason to do so, which hopefully won't be for a while.
Then again, if the problem does continue to worsen, I may just have to bite
the bullet and get the repair taken care of.
At least I have a back-up rig to use if needed.
