[Elecraft] KPA500 transformer removal

[Mike Maloney]

 Am guessing that toroid transformer is 70% or more of total KPA mass?
Has anyone put it on a scale and remembed its weight? 
Be sure to seat and torque bolt properly when putting it back in.

 Not really.

Just label the wires so you know were to put them when it comes back.

Undo the bolt and pull the big torroid out.  You'll notice the KPA500 is a
lot lighter now.  :)
