[Elecraft] To inventory or not:

[Eric Swartz WA6HHQ - Elecraft]

The primary reason we ask you to inventory the kit first is to determine if
there are any missing parts up front. That way we can get them to you before you
reach the step to install them :^). There's nothing worse than finding a missing
part late at night when you have a good soldering run going!

Also, it avoids us getting multiple requests for parts if more than one is
missing from the kit. This saves us a lot in time and postage..

And definitely do not remove the resistors from the ordered tape until you
install them.
