[Elecraft] K2 - Countersunk Screws?

[Fred N. van Kempen]

I did that about a year ago, works fine.  I ordered a bunch of
different screws from Lisa (the one that goes underside the VFO
knob, to lock down the multiturn pot) and then did the job of
cautiously 'drilling' the sink-angles.  

The body DOES get a little weaker this way, but it's still fine
because there's many screws to do the job.

Cheers,

One has been able to admire that type of Elecraft construction since the
appearance of the K1 almost seven years ago.  The K1 has always had
countersunk flathead screws on the cabinet sides and top.  It's a very
nice effect that, until the appearance of the K3, was not duplicated on
other Elecraft radios.
