[Elecraft] K3 assembly issue

[Alan Bloom]

Unassembled Heathkits have sold for amazing amounts of money.  (I use 
the past tense because I doubt there any of those treasures left these 
days.)

I have even heard of people "making" an unassembled kit by  buying a 
built one, taking it apart, unsoldering all the components, and 
replacing the soldered parts with new ones.  Apparently it is 
financially worthwhile to do that.   :=)
