Scott,
First, do not mix up the front panel, control board, and RF board parts
when doing inventory, do each separately.
Inventory the inductor bag contents separately as well - there is a 1mH
RF choke that looks very closely like a 1k resistor.
If you are not adept at identifying screw sizes, measure them (they are
all 4-40 diameter).
The best method of keeping the parts organized is to use the old
"Heathkit" method. Seal up an empty USPS Priority Mail Medium Flat Rate
Box (the 13.5 x 12 x 3.5 inch size) and you have 2 'trays' with
cardboard corrugation on both sides. Stick the component leads in the
corrugations. The center of the tray can be used to hold the larger
items and hardware. I personally do not like muffin tins or plastic
boxes for the hardware because I cannot get my fingers in to grasp them
easily, but some folks seem to like to use them.

I'll be starting a K2 build in the near future after the inventory is
complete. A partial inventory is complete at this point. I'm looking
for tips and tricks for a successful build. Right now my biggest
problem as I see it, is how to organize all the caps and resistors to
make the build go smooth and relatively quick. At any rate, all
suggestions are welcome.
Thanks in advance.
