[Elecraft] K3 upgrade to K3S question

[Don Wilhelm]

Gernot,

When changing the synthesizers, the major concern is dropping the 
lockwashers behind the existing mounting screws.
To avoid that, loosen the screws almost all the way
but not quite out of their threads.  Then tilt the board toward the rear 
and push the lockwashers as far onto the screws as possible.
Then completely unscrew the remaining threads.
Grasp the board (with the screws still through it) and pull straight upward.

For all the other steps of installing the options, follow the instructions.

73,
Don W3FPR
