[Elecraft] Push one primary control button and the rest move inward!

[Ken K3IU]

On K3 #202 I get no perceptible movement of the other 8 push buttons 
when I tap or press/hold with normal force on any one of the other 9 
buttons. You might want to take a look at your assembly process and make 
sure that you have the correct spacers/washers. etc., in the proper places.
