[Elecraft] ANYONE HAVE SECRET TO ALIGNING?CONNECTING K# FRONT PANEL TO MAAIN RF BOARD

[David Wilburn]

I kept going at it my way, and finally backed off and read through it 
the way mentioned in the documentation (crazy idea, I know) and it 
went together pretty well.

The key is to get the bottom single row connectors started.  Just 
started, just barely.  Then work the front panel upward a bit.  Now, 
lots of activity with a good light / flash light, to confirm the 
double connectors and single connectors are lined up.  Once all is 
well, seat the connectors further.  Hope this helps.
