[Elecraft] Swapping K2 tops

[Ted Buckley]

AHA! a product idea for the Elecraft Design Crew!  A miniature electric 
screwdriver kit, the bit of which fits the multitude of case screws on a 
K2. . . .hand wound motor, not too different from winding toroids,  menu 
driven forward/reverse/torque setting, various option battery kits for 
field or home application, ect.  Nice Elecraft Logo on the handle.  Perhaps 
a follow on product to turn it into a battery powered toothbrush for bush 
use.  Feel free to use the idea, no charge! <G>
