At which K3 serial number did the change to gold pins happen?

Hi Mike,
Don't squirt Deoxit in the buttons.
Since you have an older K3 it most likely is the front panel pins where it
attaches to the RF board. These pins on the first K3s were tin. There probably
is some corrosion there.
Take the front panel off, clean the pins and replace the front panel and all
will probably be fine.
Elecraft has an upgrade to gold pins for the older K3. The later K3 and all K3S
radios have the gold pins.

Subject: [Elecraft] K3 front panel buttons
Hi all,
I have an older K3 and the front panel push buttons are starting to become
intermittent. I was thinking of trying to remove the front panel and seeing if
I get squirt some Deoxit in there. Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers and 73,
Mike K6STR
