[Elecraft] K2#4155 speaker/audio

[Larry Makoski W2LJ]

Just a sidebar.

I work in the service department for a company that sells professional
photographic equipment.  We often deal with FedEX and UPS with claims
for damage that occurs during shipping.

The FedEX guy was telling me how carefully stuff has to be packed,
because when a package hits the bumper stop at the end of one of those
sorting conveyors, it can be exposed to as much as 11 G's !!!  Lots of
inertia there!

It seems to be a minor miracle that stuff comes undamaged at all,
anymore.

I suspect that it takes a huge "whack" to make the magnet bend the frame
even though it is a fairly heavy magnet and a simple stamped metal
frame. It was probably bigger "whack" than the kit would  experience
being shipped,
but it could have happened at any time before Elecraft got the speakers,
or they could even be something not being caught at the factory.

If I recall correctly, the speaker in my K2 came from China.
