Where were you when the original poster needed you??? :)

My K2 arrived yesterday (#4818) and I have begun the recommended full 
inventory. I have saved everything and am treating this kit with a 
level of care and detail unlike anything I have ever done.

The care and detail that Elecraft put into this thing inspires me to 
want to do everything right, which is quite against my usual habit.

To see me almost fondling every capacitor as I took it out of the RF 
board bag and logged it must have been a sight. I fear I am becoming 
obsessed.
