[Elecraft] K3 #4407 - dead

[Guy Olinger K2AV]

Second that.  Insurance is providing full replacement value and
probably a good deal is reuseable.  Let Elecraft figure it out for
you.  You will find you will be able to sell the busted radio if you
know what is bad, even if you decide to go with full replacement.  All
the case and hardware, at minimum.
