[Elecraft] K3

Do any of the other controls give unexpected results?  My very old K3 
[#642] developed that problem.  For example, tapping ATU TUNE might 
switch the AGC from slow to fast instead of initiating an ATU cycle.  I 
found:

1.  Tapping or holding really hard [hard enough that I had to hold the 
radio] would give the expected action.

2.  The effect was more common on controls I rarely used and much less 
common on those I used all the time.

The K3 went to the Elecraft hospital a month ago for some other repairs, 
and they replaced some connector pins with the gold-plated variety.  The 
above described effect disappeared when the radio came home.
