[Elecraft] K2

[Matt Maguire]

Get a good set of wire cutters. It’s also handy to have some sort of magnification/lighting — a desk lamp with a magnifying glass built in, or a jeweller’s magnifying this on your head. A good solder sucker just in case. Just take your time, do a full inventory at the start (can be quite helpful in identifying parts through a process of elimination where the markings may be ambiguous/unclear), double-check everything as you go, and enjoy the process.

A K2 kit is on it's way. Although I do have some experience soldering, it  
has been 30+ years and I am open to any suggestions as to equipment  
needed. I have a Hakko FS-951 soldering station. I have seen various mechanisms  
for holding the circuit boards while working on them. Any other tips  
and/or caveats are more than welcome. A retirement project, hopefully to be  
completed by the time the sun comes back in a few years. :)
