Hi Don,
I guess my mistake was assuming the same steel washer was used. I just
looked it up in the new manual and I see they have been replaced by
fiber washers. The same fiber washers that are used to mount the speaker.
Since I thought that only the phenolic spacer was different, and since
Elecraft didn't have a kit, just ordered the shoulder washers and
phenolic spacers. I just looked at the fiber washers under the speaker
and they are partially compressed, but I will micrometer their
uncompressed parts and try to get them at Ace Hardware. I notice that
these washers are not used in the 150 W tuner or 100 W amp kits
otherwise I could swap them out with those, which I haven't yet finished
building yet.
If Ace doesn't have the fiber washers I will place another Elecraft
order as this sweet a radio deserves to have all the parts correct. I
was playing with the new KDSP2 last nite and wow!
Thanks,
Steve
