Glenn,
The encoder board does come VERY close to the Control Board. You must
flush cut the encoder leads and flush cut the area indicated in the
Errata sheet on the control board. Flush means really flush, trim into
the solder fillet.
Observe the instructions for mounting the encoder shaft. .
Make the wires as long as necessary to pass through the encoder board,
then solder and flush cut them.
If you are still concerned about contact, some electrical tape over the
encoder board is extra insurance, but should not be reuired if you did
everything right.

I have a question on the length of the 4 wires from the encoder board to
the front panel. If they are too short the encoder is too far forward
resulting in the front panel buttons out of alignment.
Having the wires longer cures the front panel alignment but , Then the back
of the encoder board is contacting the rear of the control board. Anyone
else observed this?
