[Elecraft] K2 number of parts?

[Don Wilhelm]

Gil and all,

I would not recommend skipping the inventory.  If nothing else, 
inventory the capacitors so you know how many you start with.  If you 
then find you do not have the capacitor value called for during 
construction, you can conclude that you installed an incorrect value 
somewhere and go looking for it.

Yes, one of the repair tasks I find on newly built K2s (and K1s and 
KX1s) is a capacitor that has an incorrect value.

So bottom line - if you know the parts count is correct before you 
start, and the manual calls for a part that you no longer have, you have 
put something in the wrong place.

If something is missing, I am going to notice it at some point during construction, so why do an inventory? I have saved countless hours not doing inventories. It's not like I would send back an incomplete kit anyway… You can always start an inventory of what's left after you find a missing part, which is very rare. That's the only thing from the manuals I don't follow precisely.
