Thats awesome Andy. I think there was a portion of the instructions having to do with a plastic clip and keeping the ribbon away from the display.. I am glad it all worked out for you. I have put together a KX3/KXPA100 and soon PX3 setup for my next venture to CE3 but admittedly I would be more comfortable with a K3/P3 combo and totally think it was very innovative how you did that. FB. and nice craft work!
