Did you build #1014? I did not build my #1117 but I did to some serious repair work on it. I then added the noise blanker, KPA-100, SSB and KAF-2. I did the A to B upgrade and all the other mods.
If I was facing your decision and I could afford it I would build a NEW K2 so I can have the satisfaction of a 100% self built Elecraft rig. It is much easier and more fun to build from scratch than you go back in and modify a rig that was already built (IMHO). Also if I bought a new K2 and it didn't include it already I would add the magnetic shield mod. You can always sell your #1014. Also..the new K2's come with the chassis for the 60M accessory where your 1014 and my 1117 would need to have the bottom cover replaced. Go for the new Craig! Elecraft can use the extra money to invest in inventory for the new auto-tune high power amp kits!
