[Elecraft] For Sale, unbuilt K2 with many options

[Ken Allen]

Thanks for all the suggestions.  I received a quote several years ago from
one of the recognized builders but the  price was about 50% of my original
investment and was more than I was willing to spend.  I've had the full K3
line for a number of years and love the radio, so don't really need the K2.
I'm hoping to find someone who wants the K2 but doesn't have the $$ to buy
new.

You all are correct in saying the level of support available on this list is
amazing. I have benefitted from the list many times while learning to use my
K3, just by reading others posts. I got all the answers before I knew the
questions.

73,

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.
