[Elecraft] K3 #4407 - dead

[Monty Shultes]

Hear, hear.  Second the motion.  I have 16 cables to disconnect and do it 
religiously - Florida is the lightning capital of the universe.  (Of course, 
when my K3 s/n# 699 was brand new, I didn't bother.  Thank you, Gary and 
Elecraft, for restoring it 2 years ago.)
