Hi,

I am about to take a look at a K3 which a SK estate has asked me to sell 
for them.  It was a friend of mine, for of many decades that passed, and 
his children and wife have now decided to sell the K3/P3.

I need to inventory the K3 to see what all is in it...  Aside from the 
obvious, and what I know about the rig, (I helped him go over the rig 
when he got it, and before he purchased it), are there any tell tail 
signs in the configuration menu I should look for?

What I know is the following:

K3, with second receiver
New synths in it for each RX.
10 MHz input for external reference.
Elecraft has gone over it and put the gold contacts in it.
Early serial number

I will be visiting the rig later this week, so I am looking for any 
tips...  Private email is fine if you don't want to clog up the reflector.

I had thought of sending it to Elecraft and have them look it over for a 
list of items, but with the extended return times of late, I think I'll 
advise the family to wait a bit on that option.

It was just at Elecraft less than a year or so ago, and blessed by them, 
so it should still be in good shape...  Anyway, if you can think of 
things to look for, I am all ears...
