Any thoughts will be appreciated. Thanks for the help.
A while back, I reported this on the KSB2. Allthough some reactions
suggested I must have put in the resistor packs tilted, I'm certain they
are straight. Also, some other people reported the chokes *are* a tight
fight. Your mileage may very.

Maybe it's just me, but I found RFC1 and RFC2 on the KSB2 to be very tight
fits. They are both quite stuck between the crystal and resistor pack. That
would normally not be a problem, but allthough the manual says to 'try to
avoid scrapping the wire', one of my RFC's apparently did not come through
unscraped. After mounting and checking for continuity, I had the good sense
to check for a short to the crystal can and Bingo! Shorted!
I might have made some more room, if the manual had warned that the crystal
and the resistor pack should have been soldered as far away from eachother
as possible. I'm not sure, as this is my first KSB2. I'd rather not start
messing with them now they are already in there.

Good luck!
