[Elecraft] Want My K-2 Back

[Dauer, Edward]

 I'd wager there are people reading this list who would build one for you, just because it's such a great thing to build.

I've done three, and I plan to do a fourth.  I'd offer to do another but for the facts that I couldn't guarantee a time frame and, if I did run into trouble, I don't have the lab equipment (or the in-depth knowledge) to troubleshoot really complex problems myself.  

But I would understand if your own original was what you really want.  My present call was the original issue in 1957.  Getting it back a few years ago was a nostalgic attempt to be 13 again.

    Thanks Wayne. You and Eric are too kind. Sadly, the years have taken their toll on my ambitious youth. I?m less patient these days, and far from as steady of hand as I was then. Perhaps my efforts to reunite with my K2 are a last gasp to hold on to my memories of a 16 year old kid with a new novice license. Wow! That?s lot of baggage to heap on a lowly K2. Maybe fate will lead me to the radio. Anyway, I couldn?t build a new one now, even if you threw a KPA1500 into the deal. BUT, if I do find the radio, how about I bring it to Dayton and collect those signatures. The Dayton booth is where I bought my lost K-2.  And if experience is any guide, I?ll buy a KX2 while I?m there.
    
    Thanks for being a friend to me and all of us Elecraft enthusiasts.
