[Elecraft] K3 - 100 watt amp dead?

[Dave New, N8SBE]

Had the same issue on my old K3.  It crapped out on me during Field Day
a few years ago, and we finished the outing on 10W CW.  Found that
the rig had the original tinned pins, and Elecraft support sent me
the gold pins gratis, and once changed out, the issue never came back.
