Unassembled Heathkits have sold for amazing amounts of money.  (I use the past tense because I doubt there any of those treasures left these days.)

I have even heard of people "making" an unassembled kit by  buying a built one, taking it apart, unsoldering all the components, and replacing the soldered parts with new ones.  Apparently it is financially worthwhile to do that.   :=)

Hi Adrian, welcome to the hobby and to the Elecraft list,

Wow, that's quite a collector's item! I'd consider asking Elecraft what
they'd charge to assemble and align for you.

Hi everyone! I’m new to the list and to Elecraft radios and HAM in general. 
Thanks for bearing with me while I learn!

I picked up an unassembled K3 at an auction three weeks ago. It’s been sitting 
in a box with most of the boards sealed in their anti-static bags since 2009. 
I’ve hit a snag and I’m hoping someone here can help.
