[Elecraft] Rusting screws

[Don Wilhelm]

I believe the K3 SS screw kit has enough stainless screws that it could 
be used on the KPA500 and the P3 as well.  Most of the external screws 
are the same size.  I will admit that some of the screws on the bottom 
of the KPA500 are longer, but you might be able to replace many of the 
screws on both the KPA500 and the P3 with one SS screw kit from Elecraft 
- there are extras in the package (but then I have not counted either).
