John -
I had the exact same experience - reversed several steps to see if I had
done something wrong - went back together and same thing occured. It is a
tight fit - just loosen several of the 2D screws and give it just a bit of a
slight nudge and SLOWLY tighten screws, each a bit at a time, unitl all are
tight again - works fine and no smoke!! ( Whew!! ) hihi... now if I can
just figure out how to adjust the oscillator without spending three weeks
turning the VFO to get to the frequency posting a query on that in just
a minute...

Probably not a big deal, but in putting together my kit(after 2 months
sitting on my bench)I had some difficulty in mating the bottom of the front
panel and aligning the connectors to the edge of the RF board. After
finally
getting that accomplished, the holes at the bottom corners of the front
panel didn't quite line up with the threaded holes in the 2D blocks . The
2D blocks are oriented correctly. I had to push against the panel to make
the holes line up. Loosening the 2D blocks
didn't help and the connectors were seated together with no gaps and
inserted properly. Anyway, as I said no big deal, but was concerned because
everything prior went together so smoothly and I might have put something
together wrong but double checked all my work to make sure I hadn't missed
something. Resistance checks were ok and now I am at the point of applying
power to test for smoke. This is a fun project.
