[Elecraft] K2 LCD Back?

[Bob Nielsen]

I got that one right, but made the wrong guess about the film on the  
front of the LCD.  I removed the polarizing strip and didn't discover  
it until I got to the first test where you use the display, which was  
blank, of course.  I immediately ordered another one, but found the  
removed strip, which was still slightly sticky and put it back on so  
I could continue testing until the new LCD arrived.  It's still there  
working just fine, several years later.
