K3 #234 now has the second half of its SO2R configuration in hand.  I'll be
building it over the next couple of days and may get a contact or two in
during the Florida QSO Party this weekend.
 
#752 was ordered on Oct 29th and arrived on April 24th.  Katiegram arrived
on April 16.  This is a K3/100 with 2.8/2.1/1.0/.5 filters, KAT3 and KXV3.  
 
My remaining K2, S/N #4687 is now up for sale.  It was tuned and checked by
W3FPR in Oct '07.  It is in great shape and has the CW note centered at
700Hz.  I used the Torroid Guy's torroids.  I will be listing it on eBay in
a couple of weeks, but I wanted to offer it to the list at a slight discount
so that I might not have to go through the eBay effort again.  #4687 is
almost exactly like my other one, #5119, which sold on eBay for $1250 a
couple of months ago.  Here is the old link for #5119:

<http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270204345589>  and the
pictures/description will look almost identical.   #4687 has a prettier heat
sink (#5119 had a few nicks which were painted), but the text embossing on
the back around the key input shows some wear where I apparently missed the
hole while plugging in paddles.  I'll gladly provide pictures as soon as I
get the K3 built.  I hope you understand my priorities
 
#4687 additionally has the K60XV transverter with 60M interface which #5119
did not have.  I'm offering #4687 at $1150 if I don't have to list it on
eBay.  When it hits eBay, I'll have a reserve of $1250.  I'll pay UPS Ground
to CONUS.  If this one doesn't sell at these prices, I'll just hang on to
it, but I had to tell my wife I tried...just not too hard.  ;-)
 
I'm also selling an XV50 that is set up for #4687.    I don't need it with
the K3.  It is set up for the 1mV input and single antenna output.  It puts
out the full 20-25 watts and works great.  I'll sell this for $325.  I'll
pay UPS Ground shipping for CONUS.  
 
In case anyone is still reading, I'm also selling the W2IHY Dual Band Audio
Equalizer/Noise Gate and iBox  that I used with my K2s.  It helped smooth
out level, vox activation and isolation issues I found when hooking up my
DVK and Heil Pro-Set to the K2s in an SO2R configuration.  I'll sell both
pieces together for $140 or $100 for the Dual Band Equilizer and $50 for the
iBox.  More info can be found on http://w2ihy.com/Default.asp
