I am sorry. In the following post, I should have stated that once I took
out the Eneloops, the rocking is still there, but it has been greatly
reduced.

I appreciate the replies.
To answer a few questions:
1. Yes, I built it from a kit, it is S/N 14xx. I measured each screw
before installation, but it looks like I must have missed something.
2. On the left side (as you're looking at the display), the panel does
not seat flush with the top panel. It is raised perhaps 0.5 - 1 mm
above the top panel. I don't know if that affected how I was trying to
close it to make everything flush.
3. If I don't set the top just right on the bottom, it rocks a bit. If
I do get it just right, it still rocks, but not quite as much. I have
not been able to see what it is rocking on. In addition to the
rocking, something catches and "clicks." I didn't notice the click
until I started trying to figure out about the gap from the original
post.
Hmm... I just took out the eight Eneloop 2400 mAh batteries and,
although the "rocking" is still there, for the most part, the gap is
gone and I don't hear the clicking.
Yes, I realize I'm being anal about this.
I guess I will start dis-assembling and see where I screwed up.

Well, I'm not sure how to describe it.
Near the speaker, it appears the two halves don't meet up as well as
at the ends. If you look at the top half of the enclosure, it is
beveled and slides *inside* the bottom half. At either end, they mate
up well. Near the speaker, there appears to be a 3 - 4 mm gap where
it doesn't appear to meet up as well. Am I describing that in a way
that *anyone* understands?
If it's normal, I'm good with that. However, if there's something I
should check, I will. I have looked at the ribbon cable and it is
folded the correct way. It is not pinched and the connectors seem to
be fully seated. Maybe I'm mashing (Southern term) the ends together
too far, but if I don't do that, the bottom of the sides and the
bottom half of the enclosure don't meet up "properly."
I don't remember if I tried to "mate" the two halves without the
batteries inside the radio.
If needed, I can send pictures.
