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?
