Great comments, Windy! I am mystified about why your VFO A encoder shaft would not be perpendicular to the front panel. There's something wrong there!
So far, all the cases of a "loose" headphone washer that I've seen were because the front panel pc board wasn't completely seated in the front panel sheet metal. Rather, one edge of the microphone connector is binding in the hole in the sheet metal, keeping the board from fitting all the way against the panel. The Front Panel pc board will flex quite easily when the screws are tightened and it doesn't take to cause the washer on the nearby PHONES jack to be loose. Figure 37 shows exactly how the microphone connector should appear when it's properly seated. The text at the top of page 29 describes how to seat it properly if it is binding. Lots of bold face/capitals, etc., make reading the steps harder and make missing other important information likely. The right way to get things in the correct order is to write them in the correct order. If you could point out any places where the sequence was not correct, I'd appreciate the input. In any case, it's always good practice to read a step completely before attempting to do it.
