[Elecraft] My K2 is a Low Rider!

[Don Wilhelm]

JT,

Measure your rear feet.  Perhaps you have the wrong ones - but I do not 
know of other Elecraft products that use different size feet (although 
the K3 may have higher feet).

I just measured 3 K2s with my shop dial caliper.  My old SN 20 front 
feet measure 0.430 inches and the rear feet are 0.410 (maybe from slight 
compression over the years).  SN 586x has 0.430 front feet and the rear 
feet measure 0.427 inches and SN 619x has 0.430 front feet and the rear 
feet are 0.425 inches.  So all will have a very slight back tilt.

I can think of only 2 possibilities - one is that you mounted the 
lockwashers between the feet and the rear panel (they should be next to 
the nuts on the inside), or two is that somehow your rear feet are 
incorrect due to some mixup in parts.
