[Elecraft] K2: Advice about "Rework Eliminators" etc...

[Robert G. Strickland]

John...

As per another post, I don't know if they're still available, either. 
That said, I used them and found them to be a "non issue" and most 
helpful in the long run. I am forever tinkering around inside my K2, and 
having the ReWorkEliminators in there makes a huge difference. Hope you 
can find them, still.
