times I have found small parts clinging to the paper debris after they
came up "missing." This comes from 50 years of kit assembly and
adherence to Murphy's Laws (if anything can go wrong, it will and the
lost part is one for which you have no spares).

Where were you when the original poster needed you??? :)
My K2 arrived yesterday (#4818) and I have begun the recommended full
inventory. I have saved everything and am treating this kit with a
level of care and detail unlike anything I have ever done.
The care and detail that Elecraft put into this thing inspires me to
want to do everything right, which is quite against my usual habit.
To see me almost fondling every capacitor as I took it out of the RF
board bag and logged it must have been a sight. I fear I am becoming
obsessed.
