Lloyd,

The kit for built K1s included the LCD p/n E600015, for unbuilt K1s it 
was not included.

In order to install the backlight the LCD must be removed and will most 
likely be destroyed in the process.  The easiest way to remove it is to 
cut the pins close to the LCD body and then remove them one at a time.

Before doing anything, check with the Elecraft sales office to be 
certain both the p/n E600015 and the backlight kit for an unbuilt K1 are 
available.
