[Elecraft] For Sale, unbuilt K2 with many options

[Harry Yingst]

I also was going to suggest finding someone to complete if for him.
I just finished building a loaded K2 a couple weeks ago and If I had more time I'd offer to build it for free just for the fun of it.
Chances are someone out there may be looking for the fun of building a K2 Kit

Getting old is a pain when it means we can no longer do some of the things 
we love to do. The price you are asking for the set of K2 items would mean 
you are taking quite a loss on the items you had bought.

One option to consider is to find someone you know and can trust to do the 
soldering work for you. You can do the final assembly and alignment. At 
least you will the satisfaction of having done some work on the K2 even if 
it wasn't the soldering of parts that you originally expected to be doing. 
You will also wind up with a nice radio that you can use on the air.
