I seem to remember that either SoC or one of the hobbyist suppliers (probably the former) sold a pack of the right sockets for the MK14 board. I know I got it when I built my MK14. The large electrolytic capacitor was 'optional', it was not included in the kit and I never fitted it as the machine worked on my homebrew power supply without it.

I also remember a note about the using the correct 16 holes in those 18 pin locations. Maybe a slip of paper tucked in the manual. I doubt I could find it now though.
