Morning Lou, I looked on the Elecraft site and the part number for the transreflective LCD is E600015. A search for that part number on the site turned up nothing. So they don’t appear to be stocking that part anymore. If someone reading the reflector knows the source for that part, I will see if I can find one. If not, I found this approach — https://bit.ly/3fgvtL2 — to adding a backlight to a built K1. With a little tinkering, the latter should work as well. Thanks Lou!
