  I think one possible fix would be to use .050" shorter standoffs  between
the DSP board and the FP board. That would cause the shoulder of  the
headphone jack to be close enough to the FP sheet metal to keep the  washer
from rattling, and would also allow the connectors on the FP  assembly to
not seat quite as far down on to the mating pins of the  connectors on the
RF board, therefore allowing the screws for the front panel  mounting to
line up easier.

-------------------

That also moves the front panel board closer to the front panel sheet metal
where the screws holding the LCD cover can hit the LCD itself and break the
glass.
