[Elecraft] Trouble with bail and feet - K@

Hi Bruce,

A lot of people (including me) have had trouble with the bail. I just bent
the legs inward a bit until they would fit with a reasonable amount of force
and it works fine.

Another trick is to put some heavy string around the ends of the legs and
then twist the string with a screwdriver to force the leg together until
they will fit. Leave the screws in the feet loose so they will spread
slightly while installing the bail and then tighten the screws to pull
everything together.

Arnold Swartznegger said he didn't have any trouble with his :))
