[Elecraft] New K2 kit

[Stan Rife]

	I just received my K2 kit s/n 4216 today. Elecraft recommends an
inventory of the kit. I figured I would inventory each bag as I needed =
it.
Looks like a daunting task to inventory the entire kit at once, and I =
really
would rather not open a bag unless I am starting the assembly of that
section, or need parts out of it as in the case of the Miscellaneous =
parts
bag. I have already discovered that C38 (Control board) is missing from =
my
inventory. My work/assembly bench is in the garage and I don't want any =
more
parts lying around unpackaged than is necessary. I can just see my cats
playing with the transistors and IC's.=20
	Everything I have opened so far (Control and Misc) is inventoried
and sorted in small plastic measuring cups. I've used these in the past,
when I was building remote control models, to mix up epoxy and balsa =
fillet
material. They are just about the right size for the small parts.
	Just wondering what your thoughts were on this and any other
suggestions on construction/assembly would be greatly appreciated. I =
have
put together a couple of kits in the past, but nothing quite this =
ambitious.
I do have a Weller WESD51 station that I bought just for this project, =
so I
am ok in that respect. Ordered the right solder, wick, desoldering pump =
and
all the usual essentials. I never had a temp controlled station before. =
In
the past I just used a 23 or 33 watt Ungar iron. It is going to be nice
using the Weller station. I also have a Panavise Quick Assembly circuit
board holder, which looks like it is going to be a real time saver.
	I guess I am pretty well set unless you all think of anything I have
not. All input is welcomed.

Thanks,
