[Elecraft] Help - K-3 TMP cables

I'm in a bit of a mess.  I took my K-3 (S/N 4275) with the sub-RX apart 
in order to replace Q3, the MOSFET that switches the Key Out jack, which 
is buried under the sub-RX and the I/O subassemblies.  In the process, I 
managed to pop loose the cable that goes from VCO Out (J84 of the *main* 
synthesizer board), connecting  presumably to somewhere on the big main 
RX board.  But I can't, for the life of me, find an empty TMP jack 
anywhere on the RF board. Judging by the length and curvature of the 
orphan cable, it should go somewhere on the left side of the main board, 
toward the left \, but there's nothing there.

The problem is that the updated KSYN3A synthesizers in my K3 were 
installed at the factory, so I don't have the usual documentation and 
the units look very different from the originals  (my assembly manual 
only covers the original synthesizers, and also looks much different in 
the section dealing with the cabling of the synthesizers)

Can anyone tell me where that cable is supposed to go?
