Hi Bob,
In my manual, pins 5-6 are jumpered for AC operation.
12-14 AC ground
8 is AC hot
2 is AC neutral
Although my schematic does not  show it, 4-7 are jumpered on my plug. I see 
no other way for 12.6VDC to get back to the rig- as you said. Have you put 
an Ohm meter on the 12.6VDC line to see if it is shorted to ground?

Brand new stainless cabinet clasps are still available.
I would highly recommend, once you get her running that you install a 
Cumbria Designs X-Lock VFO stabilizer. With it installed, the rig sits 
within 10Hz all day long. Without it, there is constant drfit even when just 
receiving.
