[Elecraft] [KPA500] Leftover parts?

[k6rb at baymoon.com]

If the KPA-500 is not being carried around, but is sitting on a desk, then
I don't think you have to worry about the hardware until you have a reason
to get inside and install it (e.g. you're planning to take it on a trip or
something). And, I agree with Johnny, it should have been updated in our
assembly manuals when we received our kits. Doing it after fact means
disassembling some panels, unplugging a bunch of wires, removing the
transformer, etc. It is a PIA.
