[Elecraft] KPA500 assembly problem

[WM3M]

Thanks to all who replied with help.
The problem described in bad keyed cables email is what I have.
Before my post I tried to pry out the plug but it would not come out.
I used a pin and dug it out, piece at a time.
Checked it and it seems to be making a connection.
Thanks... 73

This is my first post here, I received my KPA500 kit this week.
I was hoping to get it running this weekend.  I am about halfway through the 
assembly.
I have found that the 10 wire ribbon cable, part # E850479, is made wrong. 
The connectors on both ends should be the same but they are not.  Different 
pins are blocked on the connectors.  One will go on the board connectors ok 
but the other will not, with the wrong pin blocked.
As best I can tell the blocked part of the connector is solid and part of 
the connector and does not come out?  Reversing the connectors or taking 
them apart does not help since the wrong pin on one of the connectors is 
blocked.  I assume the connectors are made that way and there is no way to 
unblock the pin?
I guess I have to wait till Monday and contact support.  I don’t know of 
local source of that type of connector and I don’t have any.  Any ideas 
would be appreciated.
Thanks 73
