[Elecraft] K1 missing parts - is this to be expected?

[Stan Rife]

	Funny, when I inventoried mine all the parts were there and the
count was perfect the first time through, except for one cap I thought was
missing. Didn't have to do it again because when assembly was complete there
were no left over parts.

People make mistakes, so if you can't find the parts, send an email to
Elecraft. I was missing several toroids and a couple of caps from my SSB
board and I had them replaced fairly quickly.

I defy anyone to go through their entire kit and just individually count
the parts, and then do it again and see if the counts match. There's
hundreds of little bits and that they got them most right is great. 100%
accuracy would mean checking, double checking, triple checking and then
having to pay that much extra for the human labor to do all that
checking. You want your K2 to cost twice as much? If so, have them ship
it to me, I'll check all the parts, and then I'll charge you my time for
getting all the parts right.
