[Elecraft] K3 Panel Screws - I'm Not Alone

[Ron - PE8E]

Hi John, Phil and others,

..... Maybe they'll be offered by Elecraft .....

Elecraft does offer replacement screws, allthough not (yet) as a
"complete" set. Look on the "Spare parts and Mod Kits" order page under
"Miscellaneous". You find "FLTSCRKT" with 10 screws for a dollar. It says
"for K1" but they are the same as the K3. I ordered a set some time ago to
replace some on my K3. The pan-heads are there too.

73 de PE8E, Ron
K3/100 #00201
K3/10  #01201

showing wear and tear.  I wish I'd ordered a full set of them -- they're
cheap.  Maybe they'll be offered by Elecraft.

Aptos finally realized the initial pair weren't good for repeated
assembly and disassembly.
