[Bill Johnson]

I have never had an issue with Elecraft response.  Did you call or email? Try calling.  Has always worked for me.

Yes, I found this to be the case in one built a few months ago  Reported to ELECRAFT.

This has been a problem in the past too.  Used shorter screws.

Never got a response.
