[Elecraft] LCD

Thanks John and all.
I have received several responses that have had the same 
conclusion. So far no one has had one on the back and they say 
that the front one is very very thin. I think I will get some helper 
eyes from a local experienced K2 builder to find the one on the 
front as I can't see it. 

thanks all.
