[Elecraft] , K3 Gold Plated Plug Replacment

[David Robertson]

Everyone,

I have an old K3 ( Serial # 934 ) and was starting to be plagued by
interconnection problems inside of my K3 caused by the tin plated plugs.
After contacting Elecraft I received 2 connector kits. One for the 100 watt
power amp connections ( KPA3 ) and one for the front panel ( J30 and 35 ).
Since I installed these gold plated pluge my interconnection problems seem
to have gone away. I am still concerned about the remaining tin plated
plugs in my K3 but Elecraft indicated that there has been no known issues
with these remaining tin plated connectors.

My question is has anyone who owns an old K3 experienced any other tin
plated pin issues with internal K3 connectors other than the ones that
Elecraft addressed?
