[Elecraft] K2 S/N 4787 Build In Progress

[Hisashi T Fujinaka]

I've been doing electronics for years and there's some pattern matching
you have to do when sorting out parts. Especially caps and resistor
packs. It's not completely automatic like resistors used to be. (I say
used to be because I could swear the colors were clearer when I was
younger. :) )

I'd take all the capacitors and group them together first. Then you know
that you have 12 marked "104" (for example) and then look on the list to
see which capacitor you should have 12 of. Once in a while Elecraft gets
the counts wrong so make sure you double check the values and ask here
if you have to.
