[Elecraft] Front panel not aligning...

[Jason Hissong]

Hi guys,

Having a ball putting this puppy together.  I finished the control board 
without a hitch.  Display board, well, one of the ICs I put in backward 
(was on the dang phone.. note to self... no phone calls during 
construction). Had a great time getting it back out (U3).  I have it put 
back in place properly, however, I hope I did not put too much heat on 
it when I tried to desolder it (the IC was never too hot to touch... but 
it got pretty darn warm).

Anyways... the real reason I am writing is that it seems that the front 
panel and the front panel board do not align properly.  All the 
switches, displays, and dials line up to the holes, however, the mic 
connector seems to be to high which makes the push buttons above it not 
protrude out of the panel.  I double checked, and the mic connector is 
seated all the way onto the board.  Also, the spacer fits snug under the 
push buttons and all of them are the same height.

Did I get a mic connector that is too high?
