[Elecraft] Tricks to K3 assembly (WAS: Prospective K3 Owner)

[NZ0T]

 I just received and built my K3/100 in the last week and overall it is a
very easy build especially compared to the K2 which is a true
stuff-board-and-solder kit.  I very much echo those above that used egg
cartons or some other container to separate the zillions of screws, nuts and
washers.  It takes a little time in the beginning but saves a lot during the
actual build.  Have as much room as possible as you will have a lot of
pieces laying around waiting to be installed and plenty of light too.  A
magnetic screwdriver is a must as some of the screw locations can be tight. 
Use an anti-static mat and wristband if at all possible as zapping one of
the boards would not be a good thing.

Don't drink too much beer - it can spill and make vision blurry %-|

Take your time and have fun.  It's a fantastic rig.  Now if I can only
figure out what all those buttons and controls do......

73,
Bill NZ0T
