I was very excited to receive my KX3 kit today. Assembly was going fine until I got confused about what screws to use on the front panel assembly. (I'm using Rev. F of the assembly manual).
Figure 14 on Page 14 of the assembly manual shows a single 4-40, 3/16" (4.8mm) black flat head screw used to secure the bottom of the bezel to the front panel assembly. Figure 19 on Page 17 shows four 4-40, 3/16" (4.8mm) black flat head screws used to fasten each side panel to the front panel assembly. This is a total of five 4-40, 3/16" (4.8mm) black flat head screws. Since Page A3 shows four 4-40 3/16 (4.8mm) black flat head screws in the parts list and four of these screws was included in the Front Panel Hardware bag, I would assume that only four of these screws are needed. Unfortunately, I see five of them being used in the assembly process. There are a couple of extra screws of this size in the "spare parts bag". If I actually need 5 of these screws, I'll take one from there but I want to make sure I'm using the correct size everywhere. I've already had to borrow three #2 lock washers and one #4 lock washer from the spare parts bag. Thanks, phil (K4PMI) -- View this message in context: http://elecraft.365791.n2.nabble.com/Screw-Confusion-tp7569978.html Sent from the Elecraft mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
