Good points Craig,

  I had forgotten that I found that 2N7000 (I think) later
than expected; mine was in the side of the IC carpet too.
I found it before I finished the inventory and didn't
consider that I might have missed it and declared it missing.
   I opened all of the envelopes to check their contents and
count the capacitors: forty three of the Monolithic 103
seemed daunting and I'm sure I sighed when I soldered in
the last one.
  I have just examined the inventory pages of the K2 manual
and I think (someone please correct me if I'm wrong) that
the thermal pads for Q6, Q7 and Q8 are not in the inventory.
When they were needed, I seem to remember remembering that
they must be those grey parts in the serial number packet.
