[Elecraft] K2 error replacing Q7 and Q8 PA devices

[Jimithy66]

Removed the recently installed old defective devices and soldered in the
new ones and bolted  the case together and in my haste to see if they
worked forgot to tighten the heat sink 4/40 nuts and touched the key and
heard a high pitched squeek as the $19 (plus $8.95 postage ) matched
 devices bit the dust.

This cheap  partially built K2 flea market find is becoming time consuming
and expensive. Laying  around for 18 years in the open has made the dust
and nicotine covered solder pads a bit oxidized and harder to solder.

Sometimes a bargain is not the bargain it appears to be.
