[Elecraft] Older Serial# K3

So .. I guess the point of this thread is to kill the used market for the K3.  That's seems a bit like pointing a gun at once's own head.

Obviously if some guy has attempted to do  hardware mods with a Black Beauty soldering iron or a blow torch and a pair of vice grips you have a problem.  Or if he had to use a rubber hammer to seat the front panel board, because it "just wouldn't fit right"?That's true of any radio, from a 75A-1 to a K3.  But for all purposes, a low serial K3 with the appropriate mods and updates done is the same radio as a new one.

It seems as though perhaps I should dump my own 2K serial K3 and just buy a new one?  Since the new ones are better?  Huh?
