Well I think Rick's idea of cork is the way to go, though maybe it wont be as glamorous as fish paper! hi hi. And it'll stay put sandwiched between the boards too, I imagine... Onwards to the RF board portion starting tonight. This part I remember well on my first K2, the parts inventory alone tak

Resin would be difficult to remove should the need arise. How about a thin piece of cork, often used in crafts? Rick nhc On 3/23/2016 11:57 AM, lstavenhagen wrote: Actually, I just checked mine after finishing the flush cutting and the boards are going to touch when they're screwed together.

Actually, I just checked mine after finishing the flush cutting and the boards are going to touch when they're screwed together. In the archives it was suggested to use electrical tape, but I'm thinking a more durable solution might be a thin layer of resin on the daughterboard as a more permanen

Hi Don, Ok thanks for the info. Whew, that's good because I managed to ruin it anyway having made a mistake with it that I'm too ashamed to admit to on the reflector hi hi. And thanks for the warning about flush-cutting the daughter board. In fact, I did find some discussion of this in the archiv

LS, Yes, that 4 pin connector is extra - use it for whatever purpose you want. There is a situation with the new encoder in that its board can contact the back of the control board. That is not completely clear in the manual. The area of the Control Board that could possibly contact the encode

Hi all, Just finished the front panel on my 2nd K2 last night and in the process of building the encoder daughter board, I noticed there was an unused 4pin connecter supplied in the kit. Long story short, I ended up ruining the connector, but I don't see that it's actually used for anything. I do
