Front panel spacer problem

[Jon Kåre Hellan]

All the 7.9 mm spacers in the front panel bag of #1225 are diameter
4-40. The spacers next to the LCD are supposed to be 2-56. I've emailed
[hidden email], but thought I'd ask the list if the right gauge
spacers might be lurking elsewhere in the kit.

No, I didn't use them elsewhere. Mating 4-40 screws with 2-56 spacers
would be quite a feat!

Jon,

Check the ones you have carefully.  When I got mine, I thought they were
all 4-40 threaded too, but after closer inspection, I found that some
were indeed 2-56 threaded.

Well, the 2-56 screws slide effortlessly into and out of the standoffs.
So they can't be 2-56.
