Hello All, Thanks for the overwhelming response to the KWM2's K4 repair. Some of them have made my eyes wide open, though :-). The K4 was successfully fixed by the method "just heat it and tin it". The resistance between the terminals was about 9 kilo ohm, same as the spec. In the near future, I'll try the "Asprin" method that Walter and Roy suggested. Does TYLENOL work as well? ;-) 73's es GL Osamu Hazawa
