Kaypro 2X: Replacing keyboard RJ11 recepticle?

[VERAULT]

I thought that is what you were looking for. I haven't tracked this part down yet, or seen anyone else post a replacment part link. I'll see if I can find the part for you (and all of us) over the weekend.

There is NO REPLACEMENT PART per se.... I have done this repair plenty of times. Take an old telephone apart, modify the receptacle to fit inside the kaypro. If you are looking for a drop in replacement, you will never find one.

I just replaced mine this weekend since it was rainy.

As others have mentioned, Digi-key has the "phone jack" part of the connector.
The part that connects to the keyboard circuit board header is not found anywhere, but I found that some old headers that I got from an Arduino project work just fine.
I just trimmed down the long legs and soldered the wires there. Then it plugs into the circuit board header just fine.

But, ya, there is no exact replacement part. But between Digi-key and some easily obtained headers, plus a little solder and patience, a replacement part can be made pretty easily.
