[Elecraft] K3: Repair Broken Power Pole

[Don Wilhelm]

Jim,

Are you referring to the two screws that hold the voltage regulators to 
the side panel?  If so, the major problem with them is reinstalling the 
lockwasher and nut on the one toward the front (unless you have a proper 
'crooked tool' to hold the nut from the side without it twisting - 
pliers will work if you have patience.

I do have to ask -- what did you do the break the APP housing, they are 
pretty sturdy things.

73,
