[Elecraft] Thoughts on Mod Kit Building - or where is the mag. glass?

[Ron Chambers]

Couple of comments re: the Rev A to Rev B Mod Kit for K2 (and KIO2) 
experience:

1. Why didn't you guys tell me those parts were SO SMALL!
2. Biggest magnifying glass at the drugstore was only 3" dia!
3. "Traces" are not easily cut!
4. If I hear or see "..shortest possible leads.." again I will scream!
5. Keep track of TOP of Board vs BOTTOM of Board.
6. If you lose the toroid #26 wire you can substitute human hair
7. Look "up" every 6 hours so your head doesn't permanently hang down
8. Why don't capacitor mfgr's just put the actual value on the part?
9. Putting a new part IN is easier than taking an old one OUT

Ain't it fun?
