[Elecraft] Simple K3 repairs

This is  rather dumb question;  Since I built my K3 over two years ago, my eyesight, which was failing at that time, has now reached the legally blind state.  I have developed a  simple problem  - panel lights go out after power is applied for about two seconds,  but rig continues to work FB.  If I could see inside the rig, I am sure I could isolate and repair what sounds like as relay closure causing the lights to go out,  in about ten minutes flat---but with my vision this is  now impossible.

Is there any one out there who does "minor" repairs such as the above???  I keep reading about the turn-around time at Aptos,and do not wish to compound the problem with my "silly " repair job.    Also a round trip to CA seems as little over the top.  My QTH is Palm Beach Florida.

Any leads would be appreciated.
