[Elecraft] Need K3 Board

[Fred Jensen]

Yes indeed.  I wonder what the availability and useful life of the 6L6 
or 807 types were?  They were ubiquitous in 1953 when I began, and they 
continued well into the 70's before power semiconductors came on the 
scene.  Excluding the NE555 which seems to have an infinite lifetime, if 
a semiconductor component stays alive in the supply chain for 5 years, 
it's a long-hauler. 😉
