Kieth,
I use 'Goop' on those pads. The pads will stick nicely to a flat
surface, but the solder leads on the KXB30 are just not flat enough.
Super-Glue and other thin adhesives do not have the gap filling
characteristics that are needed. An alternative to Goop is something
like 'ShoeGoo'.

I finally decided to operate on the KX-1 tonight and install the KXB30. I have
the board pretty well installed. It was an interesting job to line up all
those leads in the right place...but I believe I got it. I am ready to put it
back together and do the tests. The only issue is that the little rubber
bumpers that are to be installed on the KXB30 to keep it from touching the case
have very little stickiness to them. I don't want to be shorting things out.
The bumpers just come off. They don't have a good surface to stick to since
they have to cover some of the solder joints and stick to that and the board.
Is it OK to just use a little super glue or another expoxy to get them to stay
in place? Would I damage the PCB?
