Hey, Andy, you don't have to feel stupid nor small -- we're not 
electronics guys (most of us) and we all make pretty basic errors at 
time.  In my case, the K2 was fine, just had to send it to Gary for a 
bit of toroid swapping -- yup, I had switched two types of cores!

Congratulations of getting your K2 going -- I envy you the assembly 
experience.
