LOOSE PHONES JACK and RATTLING WASHER RESOLVED!
I removed the left side panel to see what's up. There was a very small
gap due to slight bowing forward of the front panel. Again I could
squeeze it shut with my fingers and re-tighten the nut, but when
plugging in phones, it would again loosen immediately. I placed cloth
over the round nut and tightened it carefully with pliers. It's fine
until I find a hex nut that fits.
Elecraft: Why not supply a hex nut and flat washer? It would make it
safe, easy and secure.
VFO A SHAFT was off-90° RESOLVED!
I was sure I had tightened the front panel nut, perhaps too much,
using a box-end wrench. I removed the knob and plastic and found to my
surprise that it was NOT tight. Something shifted? I don't know. I
gave the nut some gentle torque with the wrench and it came out almost
perfectly straight, and definitely good enough.
All's well in the shack.
