[Elecraft] K2 A to B mods parts removal - solder popper

Sat May 31 00:21:04 2003

There appears to be some hesitation to read the manual, but there are very 
clear instructions on the back of the solder popper's packing card telling 
how to remove the pump and clean it.  It is a very simple operation.  I 
know I have never been able to get my daughter to read a manual, but surely 
good people, K2 owners must know how to.

best wishes,
