As I dug around in my store room to recover the KTA100-2, which sold
quickly, I also found, still in the brown paper, an original K2 QRP top
cover. I believe this was left over from K2 build that went directly to
the 100 watt amp option. Sop if anyone needs a new top cover, contact
me off list.

I built the 100 amp and tuner in the EC2 as per the instructions to mate with the K2. Maybe the demand was not there but neat setup and works great!
