[Elecraft] KX1's Key

[PDouglas12 at aol.com]

Hi Elecrafters,

Well, the KX1 I bought at Dayton is finished, including all of the options.   
Honestly, the hardest option was the KX1 key.   I find that sometimes with 
mechanical construction I am spatially challenged.   For the life of me, I 
couldn't figure out the drawings!   Finally, after a number of dumb false starts, I 
got them together.   They are still a bit touchy--I don't know why they go 
into occasional paroxysms of dashes--the manual says I may have to file down the 
silver wire a bit--are the tolerances that close?   Anyone else experience 
the same maybe problem?

Thanks.

Oh, did I mention the KX1 is neat?
