[Elecraft] Handle replacement on K3

[Ed K1EP]

Yes, removing the cover will give you access to both screws on the 
handle.  I just confirmed that, as the cover on mine is off :)   I 
have used my handle a lot over the last three years without any 
incident.  Probably just wasn't tightened properly the first time or 
the lock washer was left off inadvertently.
