[Elecraft] Re-assembly

[Don Wilhelm]

Mike,
You will need all 4-40 x 3/16 pan head screws for the bottom cover and 
bottom of the front panel (longer ones can bottom out).  I recall the 
proper number is 8, so look on the floor for the lost screw.
Find out where you used a 3/16 inch pan head where a 1/4 inch should 
have been.  Most of the screws on the rear panel are 1/4 inch long.
There should be no flat-head screws on the bottom or the rear of the 
K3.  You will need flat-head screws for the top cover if that is not 
already in place.

Good luck finding those little critters, they can be elusive on and 
under the workbench.

73,
Don W3FPR
