[Elecraft] The Final Build and order for K3

[David Cole]

Hi Jim,
I fully understand what you are saying, and agree with you, however my
eyesight is not at all what it used to be, so I elected to have them
built if for me.  It feels wrong, and I really did want to build one,
but, the last kit, was such a pain to build compared to how they used to
be, I have all but given up on kits.  

I used to build all the time, PC boards, some Heathkits, etc., but my
neck was so stiff after the last build-- from keeping my head tilted up
to see through the bottom lens of my bifocals I can't imagine three days
of that...  I feel like I am cheating to not build it, because I want to
see the insides, and get the fun of putting it together, but no more for
me I fear.  I may see the Eye Doc and get a set of glasses for kit
building!  :)  All for close up work.
