David,
Check the number of lockwashers you used under the Front Panel standoffs
against the number specified in the manual. The ones used between the
board and the standoff are really spacers (adding to the standoff
dimension) and are critical to keeping everything in alignment.
I would not advocate keeping a screw loose as the best solution to the
problem - it may work loose later and come back 'to bite you'.

Don, My K1 is working perfectly now. I discovered that by tightening down
the front panel screw (under the tuning knob) I had pulled the FP printed
circuit board away from the panel, and that meant the P1 and J1 connectors
weren't parallel. After reinstalling the screw loosely, then pushing the
front panel onto the RF board, and then carefully tightening that screw, I
got good contact on all pins. It seems really strange to me that pin 5 was
the only one having problems. Many thanks for your help... I learned a
lot! David
