[Elecraft] [OT] Uses for old boards

[Bill Frantz]

When I installed the upgrades in my K3, I kept the old boards. I've come up with two uses for them.

  * Give them to people who post that they want them. (One Synth board give away).
  * Use them to practice surface mount rework. You can even test the reworked board.
