[Elecraft] K3 # 282

[David Cutter]

I cannot believe that a capacitor would actually come unsoldered and fall 
off a pcb; it's more likely that it was packed loose for some odd reason and 
just happened to drop out when you opened up the box.  I've never come 
across a component not taking any solder at all having passed thro a solder 
wave.  Does it look like it has been soldered at some stage?
