[Elecraft] K2 Encoder wiring

[Phil]

After a long delay (who says that retirement gives you the time to do
all those things you want to do!) I have started to build K2 #4019.
I'm at the point where I am about to wire the encoder to the front panel
PCB.  The manual talks about wrapping 4 wires around encoder lead-outs
and there had been some (much) earlier posts about this - I tried
something else.
 
I have some old PCs in the garage - I salvaged some of the cables
between the computer front panel and motherboard including a 4 pin
flying socket which fits the encoder perfectly.  All I had to do was cut
the lead to length, solder to the front panel PCB and I have a neat
connector to the encoder.  This will allow removal of the front panel
without removal of the large tuning knob and encoder first.
