[Elecraft] K2 front panel disassembly

[Don Wilhelm]

Vic,

You will have to remove the top cover and then remove the two screws 
holding the front panel and Control Board together,  If you have either 
the KDSP2 or KAF2, you will haave to remove that first to get to the 
standoff that holds those options in.

Once th eFront panel is free from the control board, remove the 4 screws 
at the corners and pull the front panel forward.

You can then remove the knobs and the metalwork to get at the board and 
remove the pots.

If you are replacing the audio pot and your serial number is below 3000, 
give strong consideration to installing the Alternate AF Gain Wiring 
Mod.  It only involves wire, and is a worthwhile addition.

73,
