It would appear that the heat sink was added after the first several production units went out. I would wonder whether the early models have the holes in the bottom cover to accept the heat sink? If not, a bottom cover would be needed also. To be sure, I would ask this question when corresponding with Elecraft. I would also ask if longer screws are needed for the PA transistors.
