[Elecraft] KAT500 assembly

[Slava Baytalskiy]

Hi everyone!
Finally assembled the KAT500 last night.
I never thought i would have this much difficulty with the tuner as opposed to K3/P3.
Those SO-239 lugs are tricky! Especially the XMTR one. I actually ended up using a black screw instead of the zinc one 'cause it just wouldn't fit.
Hoping that KPA500 goes together easier.
And the W2 meter, that i ordered as a kit, came in assembled :-(
I had to take it apart (not fully) and examine what's inside. For me assembling these products is about 3/4 of the fun! I like using them too, but putting them together is something i wait for and savor it :-)
I'm a geek, i guess...
