[Elecraft] K1 (still) a classic!

[lstavenhagen]

Interesting... the bandpass filter trimmers in my latest K2 have changed,
IMO, for the slightly worse in terms of quality. My first K2 (#6882 ) has
nice well made looking trimmer caps in it, but 4 of the ones in the new kit
are these barrel shaped ones that are kind of blah in terms of quality, and
a little dodgier to get a screwdriver into. 

So maybe there are supply issues already affecting the K2 also? But that's
one of the reasons I went ahead and got another kit. I like my first K2 so
much I wanted to build another one. I thought about a K1 while making the
decision but without the 4-band model being available, went ahead with
another K2.

I'm at the grounding crystal cans step right now in fact and taking a break.
This is the ugliest part of the build and fortunately it's downhill after
this part. Winding toroids is no problem compared to this lol...
