Thanks to all that helped me with this issue...
My final solution was to add a #6 lock washer (this was almost enough) then
to carefully disk the end of the knerled Bolt (the group seems to call it aq
screw) with a drummel..
Dah Dah it is fixed...
Thank you all agian

Ken,
I am guessing, but my understanding is that to fasten a screw, you turn
the screw; to fasten a bolt, you turn the nut (not the bolt)... at
least, that is how I differentiate between the two, rather than on what
kind of hear they have.
Depending on where the washer is located, it may or
I must have done something wrong... When I plug the kxbd1 in it wiggles
too much..
Should I have screwed the knerled nut on the key jack? The jack on my kx-1
is flush with the upper conver so the nut wont screw on.
Suggestions to solve the case of the wiggling KXBD1
thanks

Ken,
The knurled handle screw supplied with the KXPD1 is what keeps the key
secured to the KX1 and should prevent 'wiggling'. If it does not, look for
something projecting on the back of the paddle - you may not have tightened
the jack body adequately into the paddle base - the shoulder of the

Ken,
Whatever you do, do not over tighten the knurled screw; this can damage
the circuit board behind it.
Look very carefully at why it is loose...
One possibility is that the internal board there is too close to the
case, and that the knurled screw is not holding the paddle tightly
