[Elecraft] K2 update path?

[Bill Coleman]

FWIW, I managed to put together a K60XV “kit” by ordering some replacement parts from Elecraft, and the rest from the likes of Mouser, etc. 

For the trimmer caps, I could not obtain the bottom-tuning caps. I successfully used standard top-tuning caps placed on the PC board bottom (which is mounted up-side down, so becomes the upper side of the board). I measured the clearance as being about 2mm between the upper part of the caps and the shield of the KPA100.

While I did have some teething problems with my unit installation, it had nothing to do with the caps.
