[Elecraft] WTB: Unassembled K-2 or Partial

[Ron D'Eau Claire]

Do you mean other than Elecraft? Hi! 

The K2 is certainly a great kit for a solder jockey. I built mine in 2000
and it's still a favorite rig. 

Your friend might also remember what a project finishing someone else's
unfinished kit can be. Usually there's a reason why it was unfinished that
needs to be found and fixed. Even if that's not true, there's the question
of lost parts, etc. The K2 has a lot of parts. 

Having built kits since the 1950's myself, I'd suggest that those problems
are much harder to find and correct in a carelessly assembled modern
pc-board based radio than in the old point-to-point wired kits. 

Just my opinion of course...

I have a friend that wants to get back into ham radio.  He used to build
Heathkits and would like to build again.  He is elderly and I thought he
might enjoy trying the K-2.

Anyone out there want to part with a partially assembled or unassembled K-2?

Thanks
