My #764 wasn't missing anything. I'm left with an extra pile of spare hardware, so I could have dropped a tiny screw and been OK. My dual-pots have only slight play. They turn smoothly. I think they switched vendor and should watch for this!

My rig worked fine at first power-up.

My kit K3 #818 came with the shafts on the four small dual function knobs lose and the associated pots feeling like they were gritty when turned. Sure not as smooth and nice as my ICOM 746! Wonder how many #800 units experienced this problem or is it just me? The lose shafts and gritty feeling when turned reminds me of cheap volume controls on a Chinese radio. And how many have experienced a DOA KSYN3 (synthesizer) board in your kit? In addition, how many of you have experienced missing hardware in your kit
making it difficult to complete?
