[Elecraft] Query: K1 on tilt stand paddle bracket?

[William Hammond]

Hi Doug,
From reading your stand description, I don’t think mine is a exact match.  
That aside, there is plenty of room for several types of paddles but Elecraft never offered one in the time frame of the K1.  
I have also attached a link to the instruction sheet on the K1 stand where they refer readers to  www.paddlelette.com.  That site does not respond.
Elecraft does or did offer a few paddles but none specifically for the K1.  I have one on my KX1 and KX3.  They do the job, but I believe Bengali has spoiled me for paddles.
