[Elecraft] Connector woes

[Tyler Barnett]

The previous owner of my K2 who built it, put the main-board P3 and P6 connectors in backwards.
That is, the index tab is facing the rear of the K2, rather than the front.
Reason this came up:  I was finishing up the internal KAT2 tuner, and realized through an ohmmeter check the connector was likely backwards.
A check of the K2 board layout in the manual confirmed both WERE backward.

I don't know if I'll ever put the internal battery into the K2, but I'm thinking of pulling it along with P6.
The KAT2 kit supplied a P6 for this purpose, but that leaves me short the P3 connector.
I'm concerned that despite my best removal efforts, that I'll ruin both getting them out.
Yes, I have a new solder-sucker, and an Aoyue desoldering station, but I don't know how hardy this connector is.
Should I order P3 now from Elecraft, or see how it goes?

Thanks, Tyler N4TY
