[Elecraft] Missing pan head screws

[Mike Scott]

I had the same missing screw problem with my K3 kit and ended up using two
zinc pan head screws to secure the output transistors to the bottom panel.

I also was missing one of the bushings that are used to secure the two fans
for the 100 watt power amplifier. 

Missing three non critical parts isn't too bad I guess. I am sure they
strive for 100% accuracy but, stuff happens. I have requested the missing
items from Elecraft.

I did the same when building mine, and so did a couple of other people
judging by a couple of recent posts on the Zerobeat K3 forum. I wonder how
common this is, and whether Elecraft has actually miscalculated the number
of screws required?
