K3 - Loose Mic Connector Flange

[W4JBB]

I noticed my mic connector flange on my K3 seems loose.  Not terribly
loose, just enough to move a mm or so when connecting the mic.  I cannot
find in the Assembly Manual where I'm supposed to tighten it - perhaps I
missed it.

Does anyone remember tightening a nut on the back side of the front
panel?  It's been almost 1 1/2 years since I put mine together so I do
not remember.

Meh, maybe it's just telling me to leave the mic disconnected...  ;)

The shell on the mic connector does move slightly, that is no problem.

Thanks to all who responded.

I cannot remember who first stated it, but although the flange moves a
tiny bit, the mic connector pins do not. I had noticed that too.

Again, thanks to all who responded, what a great group!
