Last night, I completed 80% of the K3 assembly in about 3-1/2 hours. 
Although this is not really a "mod," I did replace the two SO-239 coaxial 
panel receptacles with Amphenol Teflon types.  I am a big proponent of 
Amphenol connectors and had a few on-hand.

I will post a link today with a photo showing the change, and also include 
the Mouser P/N for anyone wishing to substitute the stock SO-239 with the 
higher quality Amphenol type.  At only $8 for a pair, it really dresses up 
the rear panel.   It's a direct replacement and the mounting holes line-up 
just fine.
