[Elecraft] Prospective K3 Owner

[Robert Brandon]

I used a muffin pan to sort out my hardware.  It worked very well.  I didn't
have enough cups to sort everything out, so I pre-sorted the most similar
looking parts (e.g., small black pan heads from small black flat heads).
And I separated out the small number of zinc pan heads of unusual lengths
from the large number of those that were all the same.  

There were quite a few errata in my version of the assembly instructions.
Rather than doing a lot of paper cutting and pasting, I simply used a
highlighter pen to tag sections where I needed to refer to the errata.

Yes, a magnetized screwdriver is very handy for guiding the screws to
their holes without having to fumble with them.  (There are a LOT of
screws!)

Some people pre-sort all the screws. I just dumped them and the
washers into a shallow pan and hunted through them as they were called
out. But do pay close attention to the screw lengths and washer types
specified in the instructions.
